Abstract

Sputtered Fe/FeSi films possessing antiferromagnetic (AF) interlayer coupling at room temperature develop ferromagnetic remanence when cooled below 100 K, but the AF coupling can be restored at low temperature by exposure to visible light of sufficient intensity (≳10 mW/mm²). We attribute these effects to charge carriers in the FeSi spacer layer, which, when thermally or photogenerated, are capable of communicating spin information between the Fe layers.
