Abstract
A magneto-optical memory medium is provided, on a substrate, with a first magnetic layer, which shows in-plane magnetization at room temperature and perpendicular magnetization above a certain temperature, and a second magnetic layer, which shows perpendicular magnetization within a range from room temperature up to its Curie temperature. The first magnetic layer is made up of alternating films of rare earth metals and transition metals. As a result, a magneto-optical memory medium can be provided which has a wide reproducing power margin, and which is able to prevent deterioration of characteristics due to repeated laser projection.
