Abstract

The compositional dependences of writing, erasing and reading properties of amorphous TbFe thin film were examined in detail. As a result, there was marked differences between Fe-rich and Tb-rich film. That is, the external magnetic field necessary for writing was generally weaker and less dependent on composition in Tb-rich film and the composition range where erasing could be performed by the field of the same intensity as in writing was wider in Tb-rich side. Kerr rotation angle was measured in two different methods and the scattering values between them were observed in Fe-rich film, while there was no significant difference in Tb-rich film. The origins of these compositional dependence were explained by the differences of temperature dependences of M <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</inf> and H <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</inf> besides the compositional dependences of rectangular ratio and M <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</inf> itself. The effects of the adding third elements to TbFe in Kerr rotation angle and minimum writing laser power were also measured. As a result, it was found, among some elements examined in this study, that Sm had effects of not only decreasing writing power but also increasing Kerr rotation angle in some degree.
