摘要：

Oscillations with a period of two Cr monolayers were measured in the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between Fe magnetizations separated by Cr. The coupling was measured on a sample consisting of a Au(20 angstrom)/Fe(50 angstrom)/Cr(0-18 angstrom wedge) film deposited by a molecular-beam epitaxy on a Fe[100] single-crystal "whisker." The Cr and Fe grew monolayer by monolayer as monitored by reflection high-energy-electron diffraction. The coupling was determined from the magneto-optic Kerr effect. It was antiferromagnetic for 5-18 angstrom Cr with four strong peaks and a maximum value of -0.60 mJ/m2 for eight monolayers of Cr.
