Abstract
The thermal variation of the magnetization of Er/Fe multilayers has be en studied. Above 85 K erbium is paramagnetic except for one erbium at omic layer located at the interface. At low temperature, the average m agnetizations of iron and erbium layers are in the field direction. Th e antiferromagnetic coupling between the elements keeps the moments of some erbium layers antiparallel to the iron magnetization at the inte rface.
