Abstract

The results of first-principles calculations for the interlayer coupling in Fe/Cr/Fe trilayers are presented. We find that a spin-density wave in Cr gives rise to an additional contribution to the interlayer coupling. We investigate the relationship between the spacer magnetic moment and the interlayer coupling. Moreover we calculated the effect of interface adlayers of Cu on the interlayer coupling of a Fe/Cr/Fe trilayer.
