    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium includes a readout layer having in-plane magnetization at room temperature and in which a transition occurs from in-plane magnetization to a perpendicular magnetization when temperature rises, and a recording layer for storing information thereon magneto-optically. In the readout layer made of GdFeCo by adding Nd thereto, an amount of Nd to be added changes in a direction perpendicular to its film surface, and an amount of Nd is larger on a light incidence side than on the other side. As a result, even when a laser with a short wavelength is used, high density recording can be achieved as undesirable recording and reproducing operations due to a change in a magnetic interaction is prevented and also deterioration in quality of a reproducing signal is prevented.

    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium has a transparent substrate, a first magnetic layer, first intermediate layer, a second magnetic layer, and a third magnetic layer provided in this order. The first magnetic layer has an in-plane magnetization at room temperature, while a transition from the in-plane magnetization to a perpendicular magnetization occurs to the first magnetic layer with a temperature rise. The first intermediate layer is made of a non-magnetic substance. The second magnetic layer is a film having a perpendicular magnetization. The third magnetic layer is a film having a perpendicular magnetization, has a coercive force smaller than that of the second magnetic layer at room temperature, and has a Curie temperature higher than that of the second magnetic layer. The light intensity modulation overwriting method is applicable to the magneto-optical recording medium thus arranged, superior reproduction signal characteristics can be obtained with respect to this magneto-optical recording medium, and reproduction can be carried out with respect to the recording medium even though it has recording bits whose each diameter is smaller than that of a light beam. Thus it is possible to provide the magneto-optical recording medium suitable for high density recording.

    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium includes a readout layer has in-plane magnetization at room temperature and in which a transition occurs from in-plane magnetization to perpendicular magnetization when temperature thereof is raised, and a recording layer for recording thereon information. The composition of the readout layer varies in a direction perpendicular to the surface thereof, and in the readout layer, the Co density on the light incident side is higher than the Co density on the interface between the readout layer and the recording layer. Therefore, the Curie temperature on the reproducing light incident side of the readout layer is high and the the polar Kerr rotation angle in reproducing increases, thereby achieving improvements in a reproducing signal quality. On the other hand, since the Curie temperature on the interface is low, the shift of the threshold temperature at which a transition occurs from in-plane to perpendicular by the magnetic interaction between the layers can be suppressed, thereby achieving a high quality reproducing signal without changing the laser power required for reproduction very much.

    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium is composed of a reproducing layer, a recording layer, and an initializing layer, which are laminated in this order. The reproducing layer is provided so that a light beam is projected thereon so as to reproduce information. The recording layer is provided so that information is recorded therein and the information is copied to the reproducing layer at a readout temperature. The initializing layer is provided so that the reproducing layer is initialized at room temperature. Non-magnetic layers are provided between the reproducing layer and the recording layer and between the recording layer and the initializing layer, respectively, so that such two layers are not exchange-coupled each other. The recording layer has a compensation temperature of room temperature, while the initializing layer has a compensation temperature of the readout temperature, which is achieved by temperature rise caused by the projection of the light beam. With such an arrangement, an external magnetic field for initializing the reproducing layer and an external magnetic field for reproduction-use can be omitted, thereby preventing a recording device from becoming large in size, as well as enhancing the recording density of the recording layer.

    摘要: A transparent substrate of an optical memory is produced by injection molding using a stamper. Grooves and lands are alternately arranged on the optical memory, for tracking of light converged on the optical memory. The groove width is set in the range of 0.3 .mu.m to 0.4 .mu.m and the groove depth is set in the rage of 80 nm to 100 nm. A decrease in the width of a land at each edge is restrained to 0.2 .mu.m in maximum. With such dimensions, even when the track pitch is set to about 1.4 .mu.m, it is possible to obtain a track crossing signal with intensity sufficient for performing an access operation to a target track. Moreover, since the dimensions bring about an improved reflectance at a land, the optical memory achieves an improved C/N and recording density.

    摘要: A magnetic recording medium having a recording layer made up of a ferrimagnetic material whose compensation temperature is included within room temperatures and an information recording-reproduction method using the magnetic recording medium. During recording, while a light beam is projected on the recording layer so as to raise the temperature of a recording portion, information is recorded by applying a signal magnetic field from a magnetic head. During reproduction, while a light beam is projected on a reproducing portion of the recording layer so as to raise the temperature thereof, information is reproduced by detecting leakage flux from the reproducing portion by the magnetic head. Thus, during reproduction, no magnetic flux is generated from other portions of the recording layer not irradiated by the light beam. With the arrangement, crosstalk due to leakage flux from adjoining tracks not irradiated by the optical beam can be eliminated. Therefore, track pitches can be made narrower so as to increase recording density of the magnetic recording medium. Further, since crosstalk from adjoining tracks is eliminated, a high S/N can be achieved.

    摘要: A magneto-optical memory device is provided with a base whereon a first magnetic film which exhibits in-plane magnetization at room temperature and exhibits perpendicular magnetization at above room temperature, a second magnetic film having its Curie temperature above room temperature; and a third magnetic film having its Curie temperature set above the Curie temperature of the second magnetic film, which exhibits perpendicular magnetization in a temperature range between room temperature and Curie temperature are laminated in this order. When recording, the temperature of the third magnetic film is raised to the vicinity of its Curie temperature, and information is recorded thereon by an external magnetic field. As the magnetization of the second magnetic film having a temperature rise above its Curie temperature disappears, an exchange coupling force is not exerted between the first magnetic film and the third magnetic film. In the above arrangement, since the effect from the magnetization of the first magnetic film can be avoided, information can be recorded on the third magnetic film by a small external magnetic field, thereby permitting a reduction in electric power consumption and in the size of the apparatus.
