Abstract
Magnetic and magneto-optical properties of TbFeCo/Pt and TbFeCo/Pd multilayer films prepared by sputter deposition are discussed in conjunction with the multilayer structure. The magnetic behaviors in TbFeCo/Pt and TbFeCo/Pd multilayers are very similar to each other, and the saturation magnetization Ms at 298 K increases with thickness t of Pt and Pd up to tPt, tPd=12 Å. In TbFeCo/Pt multilayers, the contribution of Pt to the polar Kerr spectra is significant at ultraviolet photon energies. The Kerr rotation θK and ellipticity ηK are enhanced with Pt layer thickness and become saturated at tPt=12 Å. On the other hand, little contribution from Pd atoms is found in the TbFeCo/Pd multilayer.
