collinear, commensurate (C) and incommensurate (I) spin-density waves (SDWs) in bulk Cr, the interfacial steps in Fe/Cr
multilayers are now believed to stabilize a helical (H) SDW within the Cr spacer. Yet HSDWs were first predicted in an
Fe/Cr trilayer with perfect interfaces when the orientation of the Fe moments does not favor C ordering: if the number
of Cr monolayers is even (odd) and the Fe moments are pointing in the same (opposite) direction, then a CSDW does not
gain any coupling energy. Under these circumstances, a simple model verifies that H ordering is indeed favored over I
ordering provided that the Fermi surface mismatch is sufficiently small or the temperature sufficiently high. (C) 1999

Abstract: An expression for the
interaction strength between two magnetic films separated by an insulating antiferromagnet spacer has been derived as a
function of temperature and thickness. We consider the mechanism wherein the magnetic interaction between the
ferromagnetic layers is mediated by the intervening antiferromagnetic insulator via the Suhl-Nakamura (SN)
interaction. The interaction energy per unit area, sigma(SN), is derived as sigma(SN) =
1/8(J(C)(2)/J(AF))(delta/a)exp(-t/delta). Here, J(AF) is the magnetic coupling constant between nearest-neighbor
antiferromagnetic spins in the spacer, J(C) is the effective coupling constant (which is greatly reduced from the
Heisenberg exchange constant), between the spins in the ferromagnetic film and the nearest-neighbor spins in the
antiferromagnetic spacer, t is the separation of the two ferromagnetic plates, and delta is the width of an
antiferromagnetic domain wall. This mechanism is the antiferromagnetic analog of the Ruderman-Kittel oscillatory
coupling between two magnetic films separated by a normal metal. [S0021-8979(99)67608-3].

Abstract: The noncollinear magnetic structure of Fe overlayers on the stepped Cr substrate is
calculated within the framework of a model Hamiltonian approach. Different noncollinear solutions are found by choosing
the initial state for the self-consistency procedure. It is shown that for the stepped Fe/Cr interface the ground slate
is noncollinear and the distribution of magnetic moment directions is not uniform in both the Fe and Cr layers. The
dependence of the angle between the average moment of the Fe overlayer and the average moment of different Cr layers on
the thickness of Fe coverage is obtained. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: A first-principles electronic-structure calculation for Fe/Cr superlattices is presented, where a
spin-density-wave order in the Cr layer is considered in addition to an antiferromagnetic one. The interlayer magnetic
coupling between ferromagnetic Fe layers is investigated, and the oscillation of the interlayer magnetic coupling with a
two-monolayer period of the spacer thickness of the Cr layer is illustrated. The appearance of the spin-density-wave
order in the Cr layer, which gives rise to a phase slip of the oscillation. is furthermore
demonstrated. [S0163-1829(99)51010-2]. Cited references: FAWCETT-E-1988-REV-MOD-PHYS-V60-P209

Abstract:
The magnetic interlayer coupling of Fe3O4 across NiO is studied using Fe3O4/NiO/Fe3O4 trilayers epitaxially grown on
(001) MgO substrates. For NiO thicknesses between 0.7 and 5 nm, the magnetic moments of the two Fe3O4 layers are
directed perpendicularly with respect to each other. The 90 degrees coupling strength is determined to be 0.35 +/- 0.08
mJ/m(2) for a 1.4-nm-thick NiO spacer. The 90 degrees coupling can be understood from the effect of an antiferromagnetic
spacer in the presence of interface roughness.

Abstract: Phase transitions induced by an external field are investigated in magnetic
multilayer systems with uniaxial anisotropy and biquadratic exchange. A magnetic field directed perpendicular to the
plane of the layers changes the effective anisotropy and exchange constants, determining the orientation of the
magnetization in the plane of the layers, and can give rise to spin-reorientation transitions. All possible types of
such transitions are investigated for the case of uniaxial anisotropy, which differs substantially from the case of
cubic anisotropy by the different renormalization of the effective anisotropy constants. (C) 1999 American Institute of

Abstract: We present the results of temperature dependent measurements of magnetically coupled
Fe1-xCrx/Cr-superlattices. These results are supplementary to the ones known for non-collinearly coupled
Fe/Cr-superlattices. By systematically varying the Cr concentration x we cover a wide range of the Fe1-xCrx-phase
diagram. As an experimental technique spin-polarized neutron reflectivity with spin analysis and high-angle neutron
scattering proves to be ideal for this work. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
