In situ conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy on ultrathin Fe(100)/Ir(100) films — •Sergey Makarov1,2, Werner Keune1,2, Heiko Wende1, and Jürgen Kirschner21Fakultät für Physik und CeNIDE, Universität Duisburg-Essen — 2Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik Halle

In the present work we apply 57Fe conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy for the study of magnetic order in uncoated three- and four-atomic monolayers (ML) thick epitaxial 57Fe(100) ultrathin films grown in ultrahigh vacuum by molecular - beam epitaxy on the Ir(100) surface with the (5x1)Hex reconstruction. The spectra were taken in situ in UHV in zero external magnetic field at 30 K using a channeltron electron detector.

These spectra of 3 and 4 ML 57Fe on Ir(100)-(5x1)Hex reveal magnetic order even at 30 K. Surprisingly, the measured CEM spectra indicate two inequivalent 57Fe sites. Moreover, for 3 ML 57Fe we obtain the average angle between the hyperfine field direction and γ-radiation, which shows a strong out-of-plane component of Fe spin orientation. In contrast, a preferred in-plane Fe spin alignment for 4 ML 57Fe/Ir(100)-(5x1)Hex was observed.
