摘要
The magnetic properties of magnetic multilayers are studied using first principles total energy calculations. In this paper we present our results for bcc Fe multilayers with a (001) stacking direction. Using Nb as a spacer material we find an oscillating exchange coupling with a period of about 4.6 angstrom( almost-equal-to 3 Nb monolayers). A detailed study of the magnetic moments in the Nb spacer is given. Furthermore we discuss the dependence of the exchange coupling strength as a function of the thickness of the Fe slabs.
