J. Kudrnovsky et al., INTERLAYER MAGNETIC COUPLING - EFFECT OF DISORDER IN SPACER, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 156(1-3), 1996, pp. 245-246
The influence of spacer randomness on the periods and the amplitudes o
f the oscillations of exchange coupling in magnetic multilayers is stu
died from first principles. The effect of disorder is treated within t
he coherent potential approximation. As a case study, results obtained
for trilayers Co/Cu(1-x)M(x)/Co(001), where M = Ni, Pd, and Zn, are p
resented and discussed.
