A detailed discussion of the scattering of fast atoms and ions from solid surfaces under a
grazing angle of incidence is presented. Theoretical and experimental results are used to …

The spin density wave (SDW) magnetism of thin epitaxial Cr films has recently become the
focus of interest because of its mediating role in exchange coupled superlattices. While the …

In the last decade a tremendous progress has taken place in understanding the basis of
magnetism, especially in reduced dimensions. In the first part, the fundamentals of …

This chapter contains a brief review of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect exhibited
by magnetic multilayers, granular alloys, and related materials. Subjects covered include a …

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements reveal that Cu atoms in Co/Cu multilayers
exhibit an induced magnetic spin moment in the d shell. The magnitude and sign of the …

Spin-polarized photoemission has developed into a versatile tool for the study of surface
and thin film magnetism. In this review, we examine the methodology of the technique and …

This paper presents a review of the phenomenon of interlayer exchange coupling in
magnetic multilayers. The emphasis is put on a pedagogical presentation of the mechanism …

The understanding, on a microscopic level, of magnetic phenomena at surfaces and
interfaces hinges on a detailed knowledge of the spin-dependent electronic structure …

The interplay between interfacial disorder and the antiferromagnetic order in Cr leads to
complex behavior in Fe/Cr multilayers. Measurements of interlayer coupling are discussed …
