Abstract
Co/Cu films were grown epitaxially on Cu(1 1 1), using Pb as a surfact ant. The exchange coupling between Co layers separated by Cu is studie d with magnetic circular dichroism in valence band photoemission. Dire ct evidence for complete antiferromagnetic coupling is observed at 4 m onolayer Cu thickness for Co films both with perpendicular and in-plan e remanent magnetization from the sign reversal of the dichroic asymme try.
