ABSTRACTAn earlier theory of the exchange coupling between two ferromagnets separated by a nonmagnetic transition metal spacer was based on size quantization of the electron energies in the spacer. It is now generalized to include the effect of hybridization between the conduction and d bands both in the ferromagnet and in the spacer. The new theory thus unifies the approach based on coupling via d electrons, valid for transition metal spacers, with RKKY-type theories for noble and simple metals which rely on coupling via conduction electrons. The theory is applied to calculate the period and strength of the long-period oscillatory coupling in (001) CO/Cu trilayer.

Exchange bias and intrinsic Gilbert damping [Formula: see text] are two important parameters in magnetic multilayers. To explore the correlation between exchange coupling and damping, the samples Ta (2.6[Formula: see text]nm)/Pt (2.5[Formula: see text]nm)/Co[Formula: see text]Fe[Formula: see text]B[Formula: see text] (0.63[Formula: see text]nm)/Pt (0.5[Formula: see text]nm)/Mn[Formula: see text]Ir[Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text])/Ta (4[Formula: see text]nm) are deposited by using pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering. The static and dynamic magnetic responses with different thickness of antiferromagnetic MnIr are investigated using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and the pump-probe time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect (TR-MOKE). The exchange bias initially increases and then decreases with increasing thickness of MnIr layer, which is associated with the interfacial exchange coupling. The dynamic results demonstrate that the Gilbert damping of CoFeB/Pt/MnIr can increase by up to 40% compared with CoFeB/Pt. Based on the fact that the spin pumping has been excluded because of the Pt interlayer, we attribute the enhancement in Gilbert damping to the exchange coupling between AFM and FM.
