Abstract
Investigation has been performed on the interlayer coupling between two Co/Pt multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy separated by Cr spacers. As a function of the Cr spacer thickness, only ferromagnetic interlayer coupling has been observed between the two Co/Pt multilayers in contrast to the oscillatory interlayer coupling between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic observed in ferromagnetic layers with in-plane anisotropy separated by Cr spacers. It is the strength of the ferromagnetic interlayer coupling that has been observed to be oscillatory as a function of the Cr spacer thickness with a period of about 7Â Ã
