摘要：
The structural and magnetic properties of Fe/SixFe1-x multilayers (Mls) have been studied by the conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) and magnetic measurements. We believe that the Fe-Si silicides responsible for the AF coupling in Fe/Si multilayers are semiconducting SixFe1-x phases rich in Si which appear in inhomogeneous spacer layer. Antiferromagnetically coupled Fe/Si multilayers have been successfully applied as artificial antiferromagnets in the magneto resistive (Fe/Si)(15)/Fe/Co1/Cu/Co2 pseudo-spin-valve system.
