The layer resolved Fe spin spiral structure for Fe/Sm-Co(1100) exchange spring magnetic bilayers was investigated by ⁵⁷Fe conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) during the magnetization reversal process, and correlated with the hysteresis loops measured via the magneto-optic Kerr effect. 2 nm thick isotopically enriched ⁵⁷Fe-probe layers were sputter-deposited in the 20 nm thick natural Fe layer at different distances from the Fe/Sm-Co interface. A direct experimental proof for a relaxed spiral angular spin distribution in the Fe layer is presented. Contrary to expectation, weak out-of-plane Fe spin components were observed in a certain applied field range.
