Abstract

The magnetic properties of Fe_m/Au_n multilayers are studied by means of the self-consistent full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave method. It is found that the Fe_m/Au_n multilayers have enhanced ferromagnetic moment of Fe in all calculated systems. For Fe/Au_n with monolayer Fe, it possesses an enhanced moment about 2.8/% of Fe, which is almost independent of Au thickness. For Fe_m/Au, Fe_m/Au_m with thick Fe layers the average moment of Fe decreases as the Fe layer thickness increases. These results are discussed in connection with recent experiments and theoretical studies.
