摘要: Small-angle neutron diffraction measurements have been made for a multilayer, [Fe(27 A)/Cr(12 A)]×30, at room temperature. It was found that the magnetizations of adjacent Fe layers are coupled in antiparallel. The decrease antiferromagnetic peak intensity as function external field observed. is confirmed giant magnetoresistance Fe/Cr multilayers due to ordering caused by interlayer coupling across an intervening Cr layer.
