AbstractWe show that oscillatory interlayer exchange coupling of thin magnetic layers through metals is a general phenomenon present in almost all the transition and noble metals. Surprisingly the period of the oscillations is approximately the same, about 10Å, in all these metals with the sole exception of Cr for which the period is significantly longer. The strength of the coupling varies systematically throughout the 3d, 4d and 5d transition metals increasing exponentially along each of the transition metal periods and increasing from the 5d to 4d to 3d periods. These results appear to be inconsistent with simple Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) based models.

We have studied the change of the interlayer exchange coupling between the adjacent magnetic transition metal (TM) layers across a rare-earth metal (REM) layer by hydrogenation in TM (10 nm)/REM (t nm)/TM (10 nm) trilayers composed of Fe and Co as the TM and Y as the REM. In the case of the Fe as TM, the magnetic properties are sensitive to hydrogenation. In particular, the interlayer exchange coupling changes remarkably by hydrogenation. On the other hand, in the case of the Co as TM, the magnetic properties do not change by hydrogenation, and the change of the coupling by hydrogenation cannot be confirmed. The difference of the change of the coupling by hydrogenation between TM=Fe and TM=Co should be attributed to the difference of the TM/Y interface state.
