Many experiments have verified the presence of a spin-density wave (SDW) within the Cr spacer of Fe/Cr multilayers and wedges. The authors review the recently-proposed interlayer magnetic coupling mediated by a SDW. Unlike previously proposed mechanisms, this magnetic coupling is strongly temperature-dependent. Depending on the temperature and the number N of Cr monolayers (ML), the SDW may be either commensurate (C) or incommensurate (I) with the bcc Cr lattice.
