The Effect of Ni Atoms Inserted in Ag Spacer on the Magnetic Property of Ni/Ag(Ni at %)/Ni Trilayered Films

We have measured the magnetization of Ni/Ag(Ni at %)/Ni (50$\AA$/30 $\AA$/50 $\AA$) trilayered films including Ni atoms inserted in non-magnetic Ag spacer. The magnetization as a function of applied field at 5 K and as a function of temperature at 100 Oe were investigated respectively using SQUID magnetometer. In these measurements peaks of magnetization at some critical temperatures were observed in all the samples. The antiferromagnetic coupling energy between neighboring Ni layers showed oscillatory behaviors according to the amounts of the Ni atoms inserted in Ag spacer. Loose spin model suggested by slonczews야 was used to explain such results.
