ABSTRACT
This paper reviews neutron and x-ray diffraction studies of the magnetism of rare-earth thin films and superlattices grown using the LaMBE Facility in Oxford. Epitaxial strain is found to change the magnetic ordering and surface effects are shown to alter the critical exponents for phase transitions. The magnetic coherence across spacer layers is found to depend on the band structure of the superlattice as a whole, and the conduction-electron spin-density wave responsible for interlayer magnetic coupling is measured directly.
