Multilayered FeSi/Si amorphous films with fixed FeSi layer thickness and different Si layer thicknesses have been studied by conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy at room temperature. The results showed that with decreasing the Si layer thickness, the hyperfine field of samples increased and the thickness of interface dead layers arisen from the atomic interdiffusion effect decreased. These are due to the coupling effect between the magnetic layers. When the Si layers are thinner than 0.88 nm, the direction of the magnetization is out of the film plane.
