N1  - We acknowledge financial support from the SFB 668 and GrK 1286 of the DFG, from the ERC Advanced Grant FURORE, and from the Cluster of Excellence "Nanospintronics" funded by the Forschungs- und Wissenschaftsstiftung Hamburg. S. L. wishes to thank the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for a Feodor Lynen Fellowship and thanks D. L. Mills for discussions and hospitality. The computations were performed on the supercomputer JUROPA at the Forschungszentrum Julich.
AB  - We measured a spin polarization above a Pt(111) surface in the vicinity of a Co nanostripe by spin-polarized scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The spin polarization exponentially decays away from the Pt-Co interface and is detectable at distances larger than 1 nm. By performing self-consistent ab initio calculations of the electronic structure for a related model system we reveal the interplay between the induced magnetic moments within the Pt surface and the spin-resolved electronic density of states above the surface.
