ABSTRACTThe microstructure of TbFeCo amorphous films deposited by a facing targets type of sputtering (FTS) method varied with the change of deposition rate Rd. The films deposited at Rd of about 100–200 nm/min did not present any distinguishable columnar structure while the ones at Rd of about 50 nm/min revealed obvious columnar structure. The films with columnless structure exhibited Kerr rotation angle θk of 0.37 deg. of which the value was higher than that of the films with columnar structure over the wide range of Th content. The torque measurement implied that the presence of columnar structure was not mainly necessary for the occurrence of large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Under satisfactory confinement of plasma during sputtering, the dense, uniform and columnless TbFeCo films can be obtained on plasma-free substrate even at Rd as high as 200 nm/min, without destroying the excellent magnetic properties and magneto-optical characteristics.

ABSTRACTThe Si3N4/FePt/Si3N4/Al/Si structures have been fabricated. 57 nm silicon nitride films have been used as dielectric layer for heat dissipation and 500 nm Al film used for reflection layer. The Kerr rotation angle was changed with the FePt layer thickness. At the 65 % Pt composition in 10 nm FePt layer, the maximum Kerr rotation angle was 0.82°. As increase with FePt thickness the Kerr angle is slightly decreased. The change of Kerr rotation angle and the thermal behavior of multilayered structure according to FePt thickness variation were also calculated by computer simulation.
