The interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) of two local moment ferromagnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic spacer layer (M/N/M multilayer) is studied using the modified RKKY method along with the s-f model. The IEC exhibits oscillatory…
Ferromagnetic side layers sandwiching a nonmagnetic spacer as a metallic trilayer has become a pivotal platform for achieving spintronic devices. Recent experiments demonstrate that manipulating the width or the nature of conducting spacer…
Ab initio formulations of the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) between two, in general non-collinearly aligned magnetic slabs embedded in a non-magnetic spacer are reviewed whereby both the spacer and the magnetic slabs as well as their…
The exchange coupling underlies ferroic magnetic coupling and is thus the key element that governs statics and dynamics of magnetic systems. This fundamental interaction comes in two flavors - symmetric and antisymmetric coupling. While…
The interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) between two ferromagnetic (FM) layers separated by a non-magnetic (NM) spacer layer gives rise to different types of coupling with the variation of spacer layer thickness. When the NM is metallic, the…
We have found that some periods of interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) oscillations as a function of cap-layer (CL) thickness may be suppressed if the in-plane extremal spanning vectors of the cap- and ferromagnet-materials Fermi surfaces do…
The magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic (AFM) EuTe epitaxial layers and short period EuTe/PbTe superlattices (SLs), grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (111) BaF$_2$ substrates, were studied by magnetization and neutron diffraction…
The electric-field control of magnetism is a highly promising and potentially effective approach for achieving energy-efficient applications. In recent times, there has been significant interest in the magneto-ionic effect in synthetic…
Antiferromagnetic materials are of great interest for spintronics. Here we present a comprehensive study of the growth, structural characterization, and resulting magnetic properties of thin films of the non-collinear antiferromagnet…
We investigate the hetero-epitaxial growth of thin film deposited on a (001) substrate via molecular dynamics simulations, using six fcc transition metals as our modeling systems. By studying the radial distribution function in the film…
Ion-beam sputtering has been used to prepare Fe/Si multilayers on a variety of substrates and over a wide range of temperatures. Small-angle x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy experiments show that the layers are heavily…
This work explores the static and dynamic magnetic properties of weakly antiferromagnetically coupled Fe/Ti superlattices, emphasizing the link between magnetic behavior and structural characteristics. HRTEM and XRD analyses confirm…
We investigate the interlayer coupling between two thin ferromagnetic (F) films mediated by an antiferromagnetic (AF) spacer in F*/AF/F trilayers and show how it transitions between different regimes on changing the AF thickness. Employing…
The continuous reduction of magnetic units to ultra small length scales inspires efforts to look for a suitable means of controlling magnetic states. In this study we show two surface charge alteration techniques for tuning the interlayer…
It is shown that the coupling between magnetic layers separated by non-magnetic metallic superlattices can decay exponentially as a function of the spacer thickness $N$, as opposed to the usual $N^{-2}$ decay. This effect is due to the lack…
We study the influence of collective magnetic excitations on the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) in metallic multilayers. The results are compared to other models that explain the temperature dependence of the IEC by mechanisms within…
We report the first ab-initio study of the interlayer exchange coupling in Fe/c-FeSi/Fe sandwiches and Fe/c-FeSi multilayers. We perform several structural studies, which show the stability of the CsCl arrangement seen experimentally for…
In this work we examine synthetic antiferromagnetic structures consisting of two, three, and four antiferromagnetic coupled layers, i.e., bilayers, trilayers, and tetralayers. We vary the thickness of the ferromagnetic layers across all…
By means of magneto-optical Kerr effect we observe for the first time antiferromagnetic coupling between ferromagnetic layers across an amorphous metallic spacer layer. Biquadratic coupling occurs at the transition from a ferromagnetically…
Exchange bias is one of the most extensively studied phenomena in magnetism, since it exerts a unidirectional anisotropy to a ferromagnet (FM) when coupled to an antiferromagnet (AFM) and the control of the exchange bias is therefore very…
