Oscillatory Exchange Coupling and Positive Magnetoresistance in Epitaxial Oxide Heterostructures

Abstract

Oscillations in the exchange coupling between ferromagnetic $L{a}_{2/3}B{a}_{1/3}Mn{O}_3$ layers with paramagnetic $LaNi{O}_3$ spacer layer thickness has been observed in epitaxial heterostructures of the two oxides. This behavior is explained within the RKKY model employing an {\it ab initio} calculated band structure of $LaNi{O}_3$, taking into account strong electron scattering in the spacer. Antiferromagnetically coupled superlattices exhibit a positive current-in-plane magnetoresistance.
