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 reserved.
