摘要
Antiferromagnetic coupling between ferromagnetic layers has been observed for the rst time in an all-semiconductor superlattice structure EuS/PbS(001), by neutron scattering and magnetization measurements. Spin-dependent superlattice band structure effects are invoked to explain the possible origin and the strength of the observed coupling.
