Abstract
In this work, we study the magnetization profiles of ferromagnetic multilay ers consisting of two materials in a sandwich structure (ABA), with ferroma gnetic coupling between the films, using an effective field theory with a p robability distribution technique that accounts for the self-correlation fu nction. Different exchange interaction terms at the interface are investiga ted. We present also results on the effect of both the exchange interaction constant in material B and the surface exchange interaction constant on th e whole system.
