It is shown that magnetization-induced second harmonic generation (SHG) is a powerful tool for investigating surfaces and buried interfaces. The source of the SHG is bound to the interface within a region of less than 2 monolayers. Changes in the electronic structure of the Co and especially the Cu-covered Co films as a function of the Co/Cu film thickness are observed.
