Abstract
The structural and magnetic properties of Fe/Cr and Fe/Ag magnetic sup erlattices are discussed. The presence of antiferromagnetic coupling i n Fe/Cr superlattices was clearly established, whereas Fe/Ag superlatt ices do not show antiferromagnetic coupling in their as-prepared state . Thermal annealing and ion irradiation lead to an increase of the mag netoresistance due to the formation of a granular Fe-Ag alloy and a Ko ndo system, respectively.
