The interface structure and local strains of \111\ fcc Co/Ni multilayers have been studied with nuclear magnetic resonance. The results show that, at the interfaces, mixing between cobalt and Ni occurs over at least two monolayers and that the Co layers have uniform compressive strain inversely prop...
