Abstract

The Anderson model of local-state conduction electron mixing is applied to the problem of interlayer magnetic coupling in metallic multilayered structures with palladium (Pd) spacer layers. An oscillation period of 5 spacer monolayers and the tendency towards ferromagnetic bias of the interlayer magnetic coupling that we obtain are consistent with the experimental data.
