Antiferromagnetic coupling between ferromagnetic layers has been observed for the first time in an all-semiconductor superlattice structure , by neutron scattering and magnetization measurements. Spin-dependent superlattice band structure effects are invoked to explain the possible origin and the strength of the observed coupling.
