中文摘要 | By considering the quantum-size effect arising from ferromagnets (FM) thickness and the interference of tunneling electrons in an FM layer, we have investigated the bilinear coupling (J(1)) and the intrinsic biquadratic coupling (J(2)) between two FM's separated by a nonmetallic spacer. It is found that both J(1) and J(2) are decreasing oscillatory functions of FM thickness with many sharp resonant peaks. Near these peaks, the strengths of J(1) and J(2) have negative temperature coefficients. In striking contrast, in the region of nonresonant coupling, the thermal excitations of conduction electrons tend to enhance the antiferromagnetic coupling, but suppress the FM one, and make J(2) oscillate in sign with the increasing temperature. In addition, we also find that a nonmonotonous temperature coefficient of J(1) can be derived by lowering the barrier height to some extent. The calculation about the density of states (DOS) indicates that these different thermal features are related to the relative magnitudes of DOS above Fermi surface between the parallel and antiparallel alignments of FM's. Therefore the present paper provides a feasible explanation for the recent experimental observations. |
