Abstract

The magnetism of epitaxial fcc-Fe films deposited on Co(100) and sandwiched between two Co(100) films was investigated by X-ray magnetic circular dichrosim at various temperatures. The dependence of Fe magnetism on the film thickness is complex and qualitatively similar on Co(100) and in fcc-Co/Fe/Co(100) trilayers. The fcc-Fe film magnetization presents a pronounced oscillation suggesting a partial antiferromagnetic ordering in the 5-10 monolayerss (ml) thickness range. The decrease in temperature down to 100 K does not exhibit any change in the magnetic properties of the Fe film. The fcc-Fe films mediate an oscillatory, indirect coupling in Co/Fe/Co(100) structures that alternates in correspondence with the changes of the Fe magnetization.
