26. Discrepancies exist between experimental and ideal theoretical values of (Formula presented) in metallic systems, partly because of interface roughness effects [J. Kudrnovsky, et al., Phys. Rev. B 53, 5125 (1996)]. This comparison with metallic systems is based on (Formula presented) values for Fe/Au/Fe triple layers where good agreement is found between theory and experiment:
