Abstract

Ultrathin Fe/Pd and Pd/Fe bilayers and Fe/Pd/Fe trilayers were studied using ferromagnetic resonance and Brillouin scattering. Pd interlayers always couple the Fe layers ferromagnetically. For thicknesses up to four monolayers the Pd is ferromagnetic, in agreement with theory. One additional atomic layer of Pd destroys the ferromagnetism, but the Pd still exhibits a fluctuating magnetic moment partly polarized by the exchange field from adjacent Fe layers. The magnetic moments in the interfaces were determined from the ferromagnetic-resonance absorption intensities
