The magnetic properties of Ni/Cu multilayers, prepared by the electron beam evaporation method under ultra high vacuum conditions, have been systematically studied by magnetic measurements. The temperature dependence of the spontaneous magnetization M (T) is well described by a T3/2 law. A spin wave theory has been used to explain the magnetization versus temperature. Based on this theory, the approximate values for the exchange interactions have been obtained.
