Abstract

In order to clarify the correlations between recording performances and fabrication processes in magneto-optical recording media, magnetic switching processes of TbFeCo films are studied. For a trilayer structure, with a thick magnetic layer, carrier to noise ratio(CNR) indicates maximum value for the composition with compensation temperature(Tcomp) being near room temperature. In a quadrilayer structure, on the other hand, where a thinner magnetic layer and Al reflector are employed, CNR indicates maximum vaiue for transition-metal(TM) rich composition with iower coercive force. Studies are made to interpret the results In terms of the difference in magnetic properties.
