Abstract
Magnetoresistance oscillations with a period of two monolayers of Cr h ave been observed in Fe/Cr/Fe trilayers. Magneto-optic measurements we re performed on the same sample in order to verify the periodicity and determine the nature of the coupling between the Fe layers. The satur ation fields obtained from both the transport and optical measurements agree well at room temperature. These results indicate that the magne toresistance is controlled by the coupling mechanism.
