Abstract
Since the discovery of antiferromagnetic type interlayer coupling between two ferromagnetic layers across a non-ferromagnetic spacer layer in 1986 numerous sample systems with many different material combinations and structural properties have been investigated. Here we give a critical review of the research on coupling phenomena. Sample preparation and measurement techniques will be discussed as well as physical pictures that allow a theoretical description of bilinear and biquadratic coupling. Experimental results are presented with emphasis on the dependence of the coupling on the nature of the interlayer material.
