Description
A spin-density wave (SDW) is shown to mediate a strongly temperature-dependent magnetic coupling between magnetic proximity layers. For parallel or antiparallel moments in the proximity layers, the order parameters of the SDW oscillate as a function of the spacer thickness with a two monolayer period. The SDW phase transition between incommensurate and commensurate phases can be controlled by flipping the magnetization of one of the proximity layers. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
