Fe/Cr(0 0 1) superlattices containing two-monolayers thick 57Fe probe layers at the Fe/Cr (Fe-on-Cr) or Cr/Fe (Cr-on-Fe) interfaces were studied using conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS). For the interpretation of the CEMS data of superlattices annealed at different temperatures, we performed theoretical modeling of their chemical and magnetic structure. Roughness and interface alloying were introduced to the model by algorithms of epitaxial growth, which included ballistic deposition with subsequent floating of some atoms on the surface. Self-consistent calculations of magnetic moments within the periodic Anderson model confirmed the proportionality between hyperfine fields and magnetic moments. For the explanation of the evolution of CEM spectra versus annealing temperature, the difference in the melting points of bulk Fe and Cr has to be taken into account.
