Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to compensated crystalline superlattice ferrimagnets. The ferrimagnets include multiple ferromagnetic layers having different magnetic disordering temperatures in combination with antiferromagnetically coupled layers. The crystalline ferromagnetic layers may include metals or alloys such as Ni, Co and Fe. The crystalline antiferromagnetically coupled layers may include metals or alloys such as Rh, Ir, Cr, Ru, Os, W and Mn. The superlattice ferrimagnets may be used in such applications as data storage or memory layers in thermally assisted magnetic recording media.
