Abstract
It has been predicted theoretically that a metal/dielectric multilayer system would possess an enhanced figure of merit over the usual metal/metal systems, such as Co/Pt, due to the much reduced optical absorption in the dielectric layer. A series of Co/AlN and Co/Pt/AlN/Pt multilayer thin films have been fabricated using sputter-deposition. The magnetic and magneto-optic properties have been analysed and an attempt has been made to correlate these with the observed microstructure. It would appear that the magnetic properties of the multilayers prepared and investigated in this work make them unsuitable for use as a magneto-optic recording medium due to a lack of the essential large perpendicular anisotropy.
