Abstract
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 m.
