Abstract
A microscopic theory is employed to investigate the spin wave spectra in
binary multilayer structures, where one of their components is a
metamagnetic material, the other one being a simple cubic ferromagnetic
crystal. The metamagnet consists of ferromagnetically ordered layers,
with the intralayer ferromagnetic exchange interactions being much
stronger than the weak antiferromagnetic interaction between adjacent
layers. The calculations are carried out for the exchange-dominated
regime within the framework of the Heisenberg model and taking into
account the random phase approximation. For numerical calculations, we
consider as the metamagnet material the well-known FeCl2 and FeBr2, Fe
being the ferromagnet spacer. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
