Abstract

This chapter contains a review of experimental methods and results of neutron scattering studies performed on AF and FM all-semiconductor superlattices. It demonstrates the efficiency of neutron diffraction methods in experimental studies of the interlayer coupling and contains a description of theoretical efforts to understand physical mechanisms of this coupling in semiconductor structures containing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic layers.

Acknowledgements

All neutron scattering experiments reviewed in this chapter were performed at the Center for Neutron Research at National Institute of Standards and Technology (CNR NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA. The Authors express their sincere gratitude to the CNR leaders and staff members for their hospitality and assistance in carrying out the projects – and especially, to Dr. Charles F. Majkrzak, who was an invaluable partner and mentor in neutron reflectometry studies of ferromagnetic multilayered systems.

Special thanks are due to collaborators who supplied the Authors with samples for neutron scattering studies – namely, to (alphabetically): G. Bauer, W. Faschinger, J. K. Furdyna, J. Sadowski, H. Sitter, A. Yu. Sipatov, and V. Volobuev. The Authors are also thankful to their colleagues who took part, directly or indirectly, in various phases of the projects (alphabetically): J. Blinowski, J. Chen, W. J. M. de Jonge, M. S. Dresselhaus, R. R. Galazka, K. I. Goldman, K. Ha, S. Hall, P. Kacman, P. Klosowski, J. Kutner-Pielaszek, H. Krenn, V. Nunez, J. J. Rhyne, P. Sankowski, S. K. Sinha, G. Springholz, T. Story, H. J. M. Swagten, A. Twardowski, and Z. Q. Wiren.
