Abstract

Interlayer exchange coupling in Co Al multilayers was investigated with ferromagnetic resonance and magnetoresistance measurements. For samples with dAl≤19 A ̊, spin waves were observed for perpendicular geometry, which implied that spin waves were sustained by the whole film and propagated through Al sublayers. Two magnetoresistance peaks corresponding to antiferromagnetic coupling between the cobalt layers were observed with increasing Al spacer thickness, but the strongest peak occurred for dAl=23 A ̊.
