Abstract
We describe the consequences on the interlayer exchange coupling by th e addition of a small amount of Ag impurities within the Co layers of high crystalline quality Co/Cu/Co(Ag) and Cu/ Ru/Co(Ag) trilayers, whi le maintaining the integrity of the spacer layers. We discuss the cons equent changes in the amplitude, period, and phase of the coupling in terms of the modification of interfacial spin-dependent potentials. (C ) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
