The magnetic hyperfine interaction of Cu in Fe, Co and Ni was studied by means of the γ-γ perturbed angular correlation method using62Zn(62Cu) as a probe. With the publishedg-factor (g=+0.661(12)) of the 41 keV, 2+ state hyperfine fields ofB HF=16.95(51) T,B HF=13.15(41) T andB HF=4.05(30) T atT=0 K for Cu in Fe, Co and Ni are derived, respectively. The systematic discrepancy of these values with several independent measurements of these hyperfine fields is removed by deriving a new value ofg=0.55(5) for the 41 keV, 2+ state of62Cu.
