Ferrimagnets contain two magnetic atoms with different magnetizations, and exhibit many features of antiferromagnets, however, they still retain a net magnetic moment, like ferromagnets. Here, Hsu et al make use of this combination of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnet properties to demonstrate a diverse array of magnetic switching phenomena in ferrimagnetic GdCo thin films that have previously only been observed in antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic bilayers.
