摘要：

The ferromagnetic coupling of FCC Fe/Cu/Fe trilayers is investigated as a function of the top Fe thickness by magneto-optical Kerr effect and in situ Kerr microscopy. A perpendicular magnetic coupling between the Fe layers is found. The data show that the magnetism of the trilayer is governed by the surface anisotropy of the top layer. The perpendicular coupling is ascribed to a magnetostatic interaction between the Fe layers. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
