Abstract
A magneto-optical recording medium includes a recording layer which is composed of A memory layer comprising a ferromagnetic layer with perpendicular anisotropy, and an auxiliary layer comprising antiferromagnetic layer which exhibits an antimagnetic phase at room temperature, and a ferromagnetic phase at temperatures near the Curie temperature of the memory layer which is higher than room temperature, because of the occurrence of magnetic phase transformation, with the memory layer and the auxiliary layer being overlaid. A magneto-optical recording method using this magneto-optical recording medium is described.
