    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium has a recording layer whereon information is magneto-optically recorded. A readout layer is provided on the recording layer. The readout layer has a compensating temperature that is located between room temperature and the Curie temperature. In the readout layer, upon an application of a light beam, the in-plane magnetization occurs at room temperature and a transition from the in-plane magnetization to vertical magnetization occurs as the temperature of the irradiated area of the readout layer rises above a predetermined temperature. By employing this magneto-optical recording medium, with an application of a light beam that is intensity modulated into two levels, only a spot having a temperature not less than a predetermined temperature is involved in the reproduction; therefore, a recorded bit with a size smaller than the diameter of the light beam can be reproduced, thereby greatly increasing the recording density. Further, the level of the reproduced signals is increased, and crosstalk from the adjoining tracks is reduced; thus, information recording and overwriting can be conducted more easily.

    摘要: An intermediate layer is formed between a memory layer and a writing layer. The intermediate layer shows in-plane magnetization at room temperature, and perpendicular magnetization within a temperature range within which the coercive force of the memory layer is lower than that of the writing layer. The Curie point of the intermediate layer is lower than that of the memory layer. Like a conventional method, light-intensity modulation overwriting is performed by irradiating laser light whose intensity has been modulated between high level and low level while applying a recording magnetic field after performing an initialization. Even when there are variations in the raised temperature by the irradiation of laser light of high level, it is possible to perform stable overwriting with light-intensity modulation by satisfactorily restraining the exchange forces between the intermediate layer and the writing layer from causing coupling.

The first magnetic layer has a perpendicular magnetization in a temperature range between room temperature and its Curie temperature. The second magnetic layer has its Curie temperature higher than that of the first magnetic layer, and coercive force thereof at room temperature is nearly zero. The third magnetic layer has a perpendicular magnetization in a temperature range between room temperature and its Curie temperature. The Curie temperature of the third magnetic layer is higher than the Curie temperature of the first magnetic layer. The coercive force of the third magnetic layer at room temperature is lower than that of the first magnetic layer.

    摘要: A magneto-optical disk is provided with a recording layer that exhibits perpendicular magnetization, an intermediate layer wherein in-plane magnetization occurs at room temperature and a transition from the in-plane magnetization to perpendicular magnetization occurs as the temperature thereof rises, and an auxiliary layer that is made of a rare-earth-transition-metal alloy and that exhibits perpendicular magnetization, and these layers are laminated in this order. The composition of the rare-earth-transition-metal alloy is set so that the magnetic moment of the rare-earth metal is relatively greater than that of the transition metal at room temperature and the compensation temperature is located between room temperature and the Curie temperature T.sub.c3. A magneto-optical recording apparatus for rewriting information on the magneto-optical disk is provided with a single magnet for applying H.sub.w onto a portion on the magneto-optical disk irradiated by a light beam, as well as for applying H.sub.init having a greater intensity than H.sub.w onto a portion that is apart from the portion irradiated by the light beam. This arrangement makes it possible to achieve a more compact, thinner magneto-optical recording apparatus which allows light-modulation overwriting.

    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.
