In recent experiments the magnitude of the magnetic hyperfine fields (∣Bhf∣) of nonmagnetic Cd probe atoms, positioned at different sites onto Ni(111) and Ni(001) surfaces, were measured with atomic resolution, using perturbed angular correlation (PAC) spectroscopy [1]. These surface sites can be characterised by differing coordination numbers, (i.e., the number of Ni nearest neighbours (NN)) [1]. The initial proposition for the direction of the induced Cd moments with respect to the magnetisation of Ni at the coordination number 5 (the free step site) was found to be in conflict with density-functional theory (DFT) calculations [2]. These initial DFT calculations were performed without lattice relaxation. Later DFT estimates, with lattice relaxation, determined the opposite sign at this position [3]. In order to compare the experimental results with theory, we have measured the signs of the Bhf at coordination numbers NN= 9, 7, 5 and 4.
