Popis: The interface structure of epitaxial Fe/Cr multilayers was studied using anomalous X-ray and neutron reflectivity. The analysis of X-ray reflectivity at three different energies provided a reliable information about the interface roughnesses. It is found that the Cr-on-Fc interface is more diffused as compared to the Fe-on-Cr interface and that the roughness exhibits a significant increase with increasing depth. The magnetic roughness, as determined from neutron reflectivity, is lower than the geometrical roughness, in conformity with the behavior of a number of magnetic thin films and multilayers.
