Magneto-optical properties of multi-component amorphous alloys based on rare earths... 

Examples of binary amorphous Tb-Fe alloys for magneto-optical applications were presented by Tsunashima et al. (1981), Honda et al. (1983b) and Kobayashi et al. (1981, 1983). The former authors used amorphous double layer films Gd-Fe/ Tb-Fe, in which the exchange coupling between those films had led to improved writing characteristics. Amorphous alloys in which Tb is combined with two different 3d metals were investigated by Tsujimoto et al. (1983), while Tsujimoto et al. (1980) studied the magnetic properties of multilayered amorphous films. 

In this review we have dealt only peripherally with the magneto-optic prop es of R/T films. In general, these properties are rath similar to those of corresponding amorphous R-T alloys, particularly in the interesting limit where the R/T films have perpendicular anisotropy. A detailed discussion of such properties has been given in a review by Sellmyer et al. (1994).
