    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium comprising a readout layer, an intermediate layer, and a recording layer. Two light beams having high and low light intensities respectively are applied while applying an external magnetic field. The magnetization direction of the recording layer is changed according to information, by reversing the sub-lattice magnetic moment of the readout layer in the case of the high light intensity. The intermediate layer exhibits a perpendicular magnetization during the irradiation, and also exhibits an in-plane magnetization at room temperature. Since it is not necessary to provide a device for generating a magnetic field for initializing every recording, it is possible to avoid increase in the size of the recording and reproducing apparatus. Moreover, the magnetization direction of the readout layer can be easily controlled with an external magnetic field, and the optical modulation overwriting property can be stabilized.

    摘要: A non-magnetic intermediate layer is provided between a reproductive layer and a recording layer. The reproductive layer is composed of a first reproductive layer and a second reproductive layer. When the first reproductive layer has a temperature that is higher than a first critical temperature, its stable magnetic domain width becomes smaller than a recording magnetic domain width so that the magnetization is reversed. When the second reproductive layer has a temperature that is higher than a second critical temperature, its stable magnetic domain width becomes larger than the recording magnetic domain width so that the reversed magnetic domain is collapsed. The first critical temperature is lower than the second critical temperature. A reproductive output having abrupt rising and falling can be obtained by the generation and the collapse of the reverse magnetic domain on the reproductive layer. For this reason, higher density recording required for larger capacity can be achieved.

    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium includes a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer being laminated. When information is to be recorded on the first magnetic layer, first, a magnetization direction in the second magnetic layer is arranged in one direction with an application of an initialization magnetic field. Then, an intensity modulated light beam is projected while applying thereto a recording magnetic field so as to change the magnetization direction in the second magnetic layer. Thereafter, the magnetization direction in the second magnetic layer is copied to the first magnetic layer, thereby recording information. The first magnetic layer has a magnetization in an intermediate direction between a perpendicular direction and an in-plane direction at room temperature, while has a perpendicular magnetization at above a predetermined temperature. Therefore, a smaller exchange coupling force is exerted from the first magnetic layer to the second magnetic layer at room temperature, thereby enabling a rewriting information with a smaller initialization magnetic field compared with the conventional method, thereby achieving a reduction in size of the apparatus and power conservation.

    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium has at least a substrate, a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, and a first interface layer provided between the first and second magnetic layers. The first magnetic layer exhibits a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy from room temperature to a Curie temperature thereof. The second magnetic layer has a coercive force lower than A: that of the first magnetic layer at room temperature, has a Curie temperature higher than that of the first magnetic layer, and exhibits a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy from room temperature to a Curie temperature of the second magnetic layer. The first interface layer is made of at least one rare-earth metal and has a thickness of several atoms. With this arrangement, it is possible (1) to carry out light modulation overwriting with respect to the magneto-optical recording medium, (2) to carry out initialization without an initializing magnetic field, and (3) to stabilize recording bits.
