Possible interface effects are examined theoretically for oscillatory exchange coupling between ferromagnetic metal films separated by a nonmagnetic spacer film. It is argued that the exchange coupling is sensitive to aspects of the magnetic film’s electronic structure, and evidence from magnetic film doping experiments is described. Possible effects of interface electronic states are also explored. Finally, a suggestion for a new type of domain wall resonance experiment is made that could provide unique measures of local values of the exchange coupling strength.

AbstractThe strength of the interlayer exchange coupling in [Fe/MgO]$$_N$$ N (001) superlattices with 2 ≤ N ≤ 10 depends on the number of bilayer repeats (N). The exchange coupling is antiferromagnetic for all the investigated thicknesses while being nine times larger in a sample with N = 4 as compared to N = 2. The sequence of the magnetic switching in two of the samples (N = 4, N = 8) is determined using polarized neutron reflectometry. The outermost layers are shown to respond at the lowest fields, consistent with having the weakest interlayer exchange coupling. The results are consistent with the existence of quantum well states defined by the thickness of the Fe and the MgO layers as well as the number of repeats (N) in [Fe/MgO]$$ _{N}$$ N (001)superlattices.
