Abstract

An opto-magnetic recording medium having a perpendicularly magnetized film of a dual layer structure comprising a first layer composed of a rare earth-transition metal amorphous thin alloy film and a second layer composed of a rare earth-transition metal amorphous thin alloy film of a composition different from that of the first layer and having a lower curie point and a larger coercive force as compared with that of said first layer, and being capable of transferring bits recorded at a curie point in said second layer to the first layer by exchange-coupling force, said first layer being composed of a GdDyFeCo film in which the sublattice magnetization for transition metal is predominant at a room temperature, the second layer being composed of TbFeCo series film in which sublattice magnetization for rare earth is predominant at a room temperature, and the directions of predominant magnetization between the first layer and the second layer being opposed to each other.
