Confirming theoretical predictions more than 25 years old, we show that Co slabs are
indirectly exchange coupled via thin Cu layers with a coupling that alternates back and forth …

The surface magneto-optic Kerr effect (SMOKE) was used to investigate the magnetic
properties of epitaxial thin films of Co, Ni, and their alloys grown on Cu (100) and Cu (111) …

Ultrathin magnetic metallic films have beenintensity investigated and have resulted in a wide
range of exciting studies which are attractive to scientists working in the basic aspects of low …

Oscillations in both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic indirect exchange coupling through
Ru are directly measured. Ferromagnetic coupling is determined by spin engineering …

Some interesting magnetic properties of artificially layered metallic materials are strongly
connected with the existence of electron standing waves, or quantum well (QW) states. One …

We have studied the magnetic and magneto-transport properties of Co/Cu multilayers
prepared by sputtering. We find oscillations of the interlayer coupling as a function of the Cu …

The application of polarized neutron reflection (PNR) to the study of the magnetic properties
of thin films and multilayers is described. It is demonstrated that PNR provides a means of …

We report the observation of major enhancements in the magneto-optical polar Kerr rotation
in the Fe/Cu/Fe system. These enhancements are as much as a factor of 2 greater than …

Abstract Co/Cu/Co sandwiches were grown by molecular beam epitaxy onto a Cu (100)
crystal with the intervening Cu layer fabricated to be wedge shaped. Electron diffraction was …

A simple expression is presented for the period Λ of oscillatory interlayer exchange
interactions in Co/X and Fe/X magnetic multilayer systems (X= a nearly-free-electron metal) …
