Abstract
Magnetization and ferromagnetic resonance measurements provide evidence of
ferromagnetic coupling between ferromagnetic (F) layers separated by an int
ervening layer of antiferromagnetic (AF) NiO of thickness, t(AF), where 7 n
m < t(AF)< 13 nm. Near 300 K, due to this coupling, the coercivity H-c and
M-H loop squareness in F/AF multilayers increases as one increases the numb
er of layers. The increased H-c and squareness have potential application i
n thin film magnets. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99
