The thickness dependence of the Fe magnetic hyperfine field and the interfacial intermixing of Fe0.82Ni0.18/Co superlattices, with the same thickness for FeNi and Co layers, have been investigated. A local concentration model using the magnetic hyperfine field values from the [Fe0.82Ni0.18](1-x)Co-x alloys has been used to interpret the field distribution in the superlattices and the Co concentration profiles over the superlattices. A relationship between the Fe magnetic hyperfine field and the Fe magnetic moment has been determined for the unordered [Fe0.82Ni0.18](1-x)Co-x and Fe1-xCox alloys. The magnetic hyperfine fields have been explained using two Fermi contact terms: (i) the core electron term proportional to the Fe magnetic moment with a proportionality constant of -13 T/mu B and (ii) a valence electron term linearly dependent on the Co concentration. The direction of the magnetic moments is found to be in the sample plane except for the 1/1 superlattice, where an angle of about 45 degrees is found.
