Magnetic moment averaged per Fe atom from SQUID measurements (black circles), together with theoretical calculations of MgO/Fe/MgO structures with symmetric Fe-O bonding (green diamonds), and asymmetric coordination (blue triangles), as a function of the Fe thickness. The experimental data are fitted to a phenomenological exponential decaying function (as
mm = mmbulk + mmsurface e[1−thickness]/k, with the characteristic decay length k = 6 ML), which converge at large coverage to bulk Fe values.

(a) Schematic drawing of the measurement condition. (b) XAS from the Ni L2 edge and Fe magnetic hysteresis
loops from the Fe XMCD measurement. (c) L2 ratio versus the polarization angle. The result shows that the NiO in-plane spin component decreases to zero as the MgO thickness increases to 35 ML.
