Observation of the exchange-coupled modes in Fe(001) /Pd/Fe(001) ultrathin trilayers

Trilayers consisting of two films of bcc Fe(001), 5 and 10 ML thick, and separated by 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 8, 10 and 11 ML of Pd were prepared on an Ag(001) substrate by means of molecular beam epitaxy. The magnetic properties of these films were measured using ferromagnetic resonance and Brillouin light s...

Description
Summary:Trilayers consisting of two films of bcc Fe(001), 5 and 10 ML thick, and separated by 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 8, 10 and 11 ML of Pd were prepared on an Ag(001) substrate by means of molecular beam epitaxy. The magnetic properties of these films were measured using ferromagnetic resonance and Brillouin light scattering techniques. The exchange coupling between the two iron films was found to be very strong for four or less ML of Pd. This exchange coupling was observed to become very weak for Pd films 5 or more ML thick (| J ≤0.1 erg/cm 2.
