Abstract
We have investigated how the magneto-optical and recording properties of Pt/Co modulated films vary with sample preparation conditions : sputtering at various gas pressures, sputtering with Xe instead of Ar, and etching the buffer layers, etc. The magneto-optical characteristics of Pt/Co multilayers was comparable with those of currently prevailing rare-earth transition-metal alloys(Tb-Fe-Co amorphous films). On a disk of $12{\times}[Pt10.7\;{\AA}/Co2.8{\;}{\AA}]$ multilayer enhanced with 70nm silicon nitride, we have achieved a CNR of 36dB with a reading laser(${\lambda}\;=\;780nm$) power of 2.5-4.5mW for 720KHz carrier at 1.4m/s and the enhanced kerr rotation angle of $1.23^{\circ}$ at 780nm. It is suggested that Pt/Co modulated films clearly are very promising magneto-optical materials for a commercially use.
Pt/Co인공격자다층막($[Pt10.7\;{\AA}/Co2.8\;{\AA}]{\times}12$)의 자기특성 및 기록특성이 시료제작시의 조건 (sputtering gas압력, sputtering gas 종류, buffer층의 유무 및 etching)에 따라 어떻게 변화하는지를 알아보았다. Pt/Co다층막의 자기특성은 Tb-Fe-Co계 아몰퍼스재료와 거의 동등한 특성이 얻어졌으며 이다층막을 이용한 광자기디스크의 기록특성은 kerr회전각, 1.23도, 기록 power 특성, 36dB(레이저파장: 780nm)을 나타내어 Pt/Co다층막이 차세대광자기디스크용 재료로서의 실용화가능성을 보여주었다.
