A magneto-optical memory medium according to the present invention comprises a reproducing layer, which has in-plane magnetization at room temperature and perpendicular magnetization when heated to above a predetermined temperature by a reproducing light beam; a recording layer, which is magnetostatically coupled to the reproducing layer; and an in-plane magnetized layer, provided adjacent to the recording layer, which has a Curie temperature at the above-mentioned predetermined temperature. In this medium, at temperatures below the predetermined temperature, signals recorded at high density in the recording layer are masked, and the above-mentioned magnetostatic coupling is suppressed, by magnetic masking by the in-plane magnetized layer. At temperatures above the predetermined temperature, however, within a domain forming part of the in-plane magnetized layer, the recording layer and the reproducing layer are magnetostatically coupled, and a recording bit of the recording layer is copied and expanded to a magnetic domain in the reproducing layer. Accordingly, with this medium, by reproducing from an expanded magnetic domain of the reproducing layer, even information from recording bits recorded at high density can be reproduced with high signal quality.

The magneto-optical storage medium in accordance with the present invention includes: a first magnetic layer (4) constituted by a perpendicularly magnetized film; a second magnetic layer (3) constituted by a perpendicularly magnetized film so as to be exchange coupled to the first magnetic layer (4); and a third magnetic layer (1) magnetostatically coupled to the first and second magnetic layers at elevated temperatures, magnetization of the first magnetic layer (4) being copied to the third magnetic layer (1), wherein the second magnetic layer (3) produces a greater peak net magnetization and has a higher Curie temperature than the first magnetic layer (4). The structure enhances magnetostatic coupling forces acting between the first magnetic layer (4) and the second magnetic layer (3) and also between the first magnetic layer (4) and the third magnetic layer (1). Therefore, the magneto-optical medium is capable of stably copying a weaker magnetization in a magnetic recording domain to the third magnetic layer (reproduction layer) (1) and reproduce information stored therein. A wider reproduction power margin is thus achieved. Besides, since the second magnetic layer (3) serves to produce a leaking magnetic flux to establish magnetostatic coupling to the third magnetic layer (1), and the first magnetic layer (4) serves to perform a satisfactory recording state, the super-resolution magneto-optical disk is realized with satisfactory recording capabilities.

摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium incorporating a recording layer constituted by a multi-layered magnetic film composed of at least three magnetic layers. Domain walls of the magnetic layer adjacent to the portion irradiated with reproducing light are moved toward the center of the spot in a forward portion in a direction, in which the reproducing light spot is moved, so that a recording magnetic domain is enlarged, and movement of the domain walls of the magnetic layer adjacent to the portion irradiated with reproducing light is inhibited in a rear portion in the direction in which the reproducing light spot is moved. To inhibit movement of the domain walls of the magnetic layer adjacent to the portion irradiated with reproducing light, for example, insertion of a magnetic layer having a predetermined magnetic characteristic into a space between a displacement layer and a switch layer is required.
