Abstract
Fcc-Fe/Cu(Au) artificial superlattiees were prepared on Cu(001) by an MBE method. The interatomic distance of fcc-Fe is controlled by Cu(Au) alloy layers epitaxially grown in multilayered films. Epitaxial growth and artificial periodicity of films were examined by RHEED and X-ray diffraction. Saturation magnetization of the films was measured. All fcc-Fe films show ferromagnetism having Tc above room temperature (400～580 K). Magnetic moment of an Fe atom increases up to 2.5～2.7 μB with increases in the interatomic distance.Keywords
