Abstract
Some of the physical properties of impurity-induced magnetic units embedded in ferromagnetic surfaces were discussed. The induced magnetic properties at isolated nonmagnetic atoms (Cd) attached to ferromagnetic Ni surfaces were found to be independent of the local symmetry and dependent on the number of nearest Ni neighbors. The dominance of coordination-number dependence as opposed to local symmetry was studied on differently oriented surfaces at constant coordination numbers using perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy. The dominance of the coordination number, for magnetic hyperfine fields, for Cd at various sites on Ni surfaces was also demonstrated.
