Abstract

Recent experiments have confirmed the main features of the interlayer coupling we calculated for Fe/Cr multilayers. We discuss the origins of these features and present new results on the interlayer coupling for Fe/Mo(100) multilayered structures. We find they share many of the features seen in Fe/Cr structures; in particular the rapid oscillations of the coupling which are suppressed by the roughness of the interfaces in sputtered superlattices.
