摘要: Abstract The exchange coupling of Fe across Cr oscillates as a function the Cr-thickness with short and long period. short-period oscillations are only observed in samples very good quality. In addition to ferro- antiferromagnetic type there is also contribution favouring perpendicular magnetization alignment neighbouring magnetic films. Similar effects for Fe/Cr system we find Fe/Au Fe/Al. For Fe/Ag AF could not be established. effect various types on domains has been studied system. An analysis new magnetoresistance due antiparallel revealed that it spindependent electron scattering at FeCr interfaces. Values rates have obtained.
