We have found that Fe atoms in Fe/MgO multilayered films prepared in the UHV condition have a magnetic moment larger than that for bulk ..cap alpha..-Fe. The magnetization of Fe atoms in Fe/MgO (10 A/15 A) film is about 240 emu/g at 4.2 K. The hyperfine field is 350 kOe at 4.2 K, which is also larger than that of bulk ..cap alpha..-Fe.
