Abstract
The (Sm,Nd)(Tb,Dy)Co thin Film had been prepared with spf-430H r.f.-magnetron sputtering system. The effects of heavy rare earth Tb, Dy substituted by light rare earth Sm, Nd on the magnetic and magneto-optical properties have been investigated. With the increasing of light rare earth Sm, Nd composition, the saturation magnetization Ms, the reflectivity R and the Kerr rotation angle θ<sub>k</sub> are increased, while the coercivity (Hc) is decreased distinctly. This can be explained with the ferri-magnetic structure of RE-TM alloy. Mr/Hc Ratio is increased with the increasing of Sm composition in SmTbCo and SmDyCo. The influence of composition and sputtering conditions on perpendicular anisotropy films are reported in detail.
