The orientation of the magnetization of a Ni(110) surface was investigated using techniques with different probing depths. By making use of electron capture into excited states of fast He atoms, we found that the magnetization of the topmost surface layer is not aligned along the easy axes of Ni. However, for a 50 ML film Fe on Ni(110) we observed the magnetization of the topmost Fe surface layer is along the easy axes of Fe.
