Experimental and theoretical research on magnetostriction of nanoscale magnetic multilayers is reviewed. The importance of interfaces and the occurrence of the surface magnetostriction is emphasized. It is shown that the dependence of magnetostriction on the magnetic layer thickness is due to the magnetostrictive strains localized at the interface.
