Abstract

Local d-magnetic moments of the Pt interlayer in Pt/Co multilayered structures (4 ÅCo + X ÅPt, X=9,19,23,30,40) have been investigated theoretically and experimentally by circular magnetic x-ray dichroism studies.

It has been found that a significant Pt polarization is induced, which contributes by about 13% to the total magnetization. The experimental findings of the average Pt moments agree well with the theoretical expectations indicating the existence of a longrange exchange coupling through the Pt layer.
