Description

In this paper, the authors have grown a series of Fe(110)/Ag(111)/Fe(110) sandwich structures using a PHI 430 MBE system and analyzed their magnetic properties using transmission Mossbauer spectroscopy. The heterostructures consisted of two 30-monolayer (ML) Fe(110) slabs separated by an intervening Ag(111) layer 2 to 35 ML thick, with a 2 ML Fe Mossbauer probe layer placed at one of the Fe/Ag interfaces. The authors found that temperature dependence of the hyperfine field in the probe layer and the saturation hyperfine field value as well strongly depend on the Ag interlayer thickness. This result demonstrates that there exists an interlayer magnetic exchange interaction between the Fe layers across Ag. In addition, preliminary evidence suggests that this is probably an RKKY interaction
