High-temperature biquadratic coupling in Fe/Cr trilayers D. Aernout , S. M. Van Eek , B. Croonenborghs , C. L'abbé , M. Rots , and J. Meersschaut Instituut voor Kern- en Stralingsfysica, K.U. Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 200D, B-3001 Leuven, Belgium (Received 28 July 2003; accepted 16 September 2003) We report on the study of epitaxial Fe/Cr trilayers with a Cr thickness of 8 nm grown at different temperatures. We show that it is possible to produce systems that exhibit interlayer exchange coupling above room temperature, while being uncoupled at lower temperatures. Through perturbed angular correlation measurements, this macroscopic effect is identified as a direct result of the growth induced characteristics of the antiferromagnetic spin density wave ordering in the Cr spacer. ©2003 American Institute of Physics. doi: 10.1063/1.1625796 PACS: 75.70.Cn, 75.30.Et, 75.50.Ee, 75.30.Fv, 76.80.+y Additional Information View ISI's Web of Science data for this article: [ Source Abstract | Related Articles ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Full Text: [ HTML Sectioned HTML PDF (58 kB) GZipped PS ] Order ------------------------------------------------------------------------ References Citation links [e.g., Phys.
