Abstract
It is shown how the exchange coupling between two ferromagnetic planes embedded in an infinite non-magnetic metal, regarded as a function of the distance between the planes, may contain important components whi ch oscillate with periods not predicted by RKKY theory. The interestin g case of a fcc(110) structure with a Cu-like Fermi surface is discuss ed in detail.
