A synthetic ferrimagnet reference layer (14) for a magnetic storage device has first and second layers (50, 52) of magnetic material operable to be magnetized in first and second magnetic orientations. A spacer layer (54) between the layers of magnetic material (50, 52) is of suitable dimensions to magnetically couple the magnetic layers (50, 52) in opposite directions. The layers of magnetic material (50, 52) have substantially the same coercivities. <IMAGE>A synthetic ferrimagnet reference layer (14) for a magnetic storage device has first and second layers (50, 52) of magnetic material operable to be magnetized in first and second magnetic orientations.
