Alternate magnetic layers separated by non-magnetic layers are known for exhibiting interlayer coupling and its applications in memory devices. Fe/Cu multilayers are interesting to study because the lattice spacing and the crystal structure of Fe layer vary with thickness which may lead to change in magnetic ordering.

In this work we have deposited [Fe(x)/Cu(y)]x10 multilayers with Fe layer thickness of x (~1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 nm) and corresponding Cu layer thickness of y (~2.5, 2.0 and 1.5 nm), on Cu (100) buffer layer epitaxially grown on Si (100) substrate at ~280 K using MBE. In-situ RHEED measurements were performed to monitor the epitaxial growth during deposition. SQUID measurements suggest that the interlayer coupling is increasing with decreasing Fe layer thickness. Further, in order to determine depth dependent magnetization profile, polarized neutron reflectivity measurements are underway. The obtained results will be discussed in this presentation.
