摘要：

Using polarized neutron reflectometry with polarization analysis we have studied the non-collinear interlayer exchange coupling in Fe/Cr(001) superlattices as a function of growth temperature. From diffuse X-ray spectra we find that the occurence of non-collinear spin structures is correlated with long range lateral Cr-thickness fluctuations which, in turn, depend on the growth temperature. This finding leads the way to a better understanding of the origin of non-collinear coupling in Fe/Cr(001).
