Exponential behavior of the interlayer exchange coupling across nonmagnetic metallic superlattices
It is shown that the coupling between magnetic layers separated by nonmagnetic metallic superlattices can decay exponentially as a function of the spacer thickness N , as opposed to the usual N decay. This effect is due to the lack of constructive contributions to the coupling from extended states across the spacer. The exponential behavior is obtained by properly choosing the distinct metals a...
متن کاملInvestigation of weak interlayer exchange coupling in GaMnAs/GaAs superlattices with insulating nonmagnetic spacers
A robust long-range antiferromagnetic coupling between ferromagnetic Ga0.97Mn0.03As layers has previously been realized via insertion of nonmagnetic Be-doped GaAs spacers between the magnetic layers. In this paper we report the observation of weak antiferromagnetic coupling between Ga0.97Mn0.03As layers through undoped GaAs spacers with thicknesses as large as 25 monolayers. The field and the t...
متن کاملInterlayer exchange coupling across a ferroelectric barrier.
A new magnetoelectric effect is predicted originating from the interlayer exchange coupling between two ferromagnetic layers separated by an ultrathin ferroelectric barrier. It is demonstrated that ferroelectric polarization switching driven by an external electric field leads to a sizable change in the interlayer exchange coupling. The effect occurs in asymmetric ferromagnet/ferroelectric/ferr...
متن کاملFerromagnetism and interlayer exchange coupling in thin metallic films
This thesis is concerned with the ferromagnetic Kondo lattice (s-d, s-f) model for film geometry. The spin-fermion interaction of this model refers to substances in which localized spins interact with mobile charge carriers like in (dilute) magnetic semiconductors, manganites, or rare-earth compounds. The carrier-mediated, indirect interaction between the localized spins comprises the long-rang...
متن کاملMetallic-type oscillatory interlayer exchange coupling across an epitaxial FeSi spacer.
We study interlayer exchange coupling in epitaxial Fe/Fe(0.56)Si(0.44)/Fe trilayers. Iron-silicide spacers with high structural and compositional homogeneity for thicknesses up to 34 A are grown by coevaporation from two electron-beam sources. The coupling strength oscillates with spacer thickness for temperatures from 20 to 300 K with two antiferromagnetic maxima at 12 and 26 A, and it clearly...
