Abstract
The interlayer exchange coupling between ferromagnetic films separated by a disordered or ordered alloy spacer layer is considered theoretic ally. This is illustrated by first-principles calculations far fee Co( 001) Alms separated by disordered Cu1-xNix, Cu1-xZnx and Cu1-xAux, and by ordered CuAu alloys. For the CuAu spacer, the case of partial orde ring in the alloy is also considered.
