Abstract
Ultrahigh-quality thin fct-Co films grown on Cu(001) were studied by 59Co NMR. The influence of the spin-dependent electron scattering at the interfaces is obsd. for at least four Co at. layers from the interface with monolayer resoln. An oscillatory effect on the Co hyperfine field with a period of several monolayers is measured, corresponding to the oscillating conduction electron polarization. The observation is exclusively possible in this system due to its very narrow resonance lines, corresponding to a virtually perfect Co structure. [on SciFinder (R)]
