A model is proposed to describe the behavior of magnetization and compensat
ion temperature in transition-metal-rare-earth multilayers, Long-range expo
nentially decreasing ferromagnetic (antiferromagnetic) interactions are con
sidered between the same (different) kind of atoms. The magnetization and c
ompensation temperature are shown to decrease with increasing single layer
thickness. Good agreement is obtained with experimental data on Tb/Co syste
