Interlayer Exchange Coupling
The extensive research done on interlayer exchange coupling in transition metal multilayers has resulted in a deep understanding of this coupling and a remarkable agreement between theoretical results and measurements. The coupling between two magnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic spacer layer is mediated by the electrons of the spacer layer. The coupling, which oscillates in sign as a fu...
متن کاملInterfacial Co nanolayers for enhancing interlayer exchange coupling in antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling media
Significant enhancement of the interlayer coupling strength has been achieved by depositing Co nanolayers on both sides of the Ru layer in a conventional CoCrPt/Ru/CoCrPt antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling structure. The interlayer coupling increases nearly linearly from 0.13 to 0.8 erg/cm and then levels off with an increase in Co thickness. Substrate bias was found to be very harm...
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 کاملAb initio theory of the interlayer exchange coupling
Ab initio formulations of the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) between two, in general non-collinearly aligned magnetic slabs embedded in a nonmagnetic spacer are reviewed whereby both the spacer and the magnetic slabs as well as their interfaces may be either ideal or random. These formulations are based on the spin-polarized surface Green function technique within the tight-binding linear m...
متن کاملEnhanced Interlayer Exchange Coupling in Co/Fe/MgO/Fe(001)
We investigate the bilinear and biquadratic interlayer exchange coupling in Co/Fe/MgO/Fe(001). Samples are grown through molecular beam epitaxy and the interlayer exchange coupling is measured through magneto-optic Kerr effect along wedge samples. By varying the location of Fe impurities between the interface and middle of the MgO spacer, we find that the couplings are enhanced and are dependen...
