    Abstract

    CoPtM (M = Re, Ru) ternary alloy films have been investigated as new magneto-optical materials for blue laser recording. The CoPtRe and CoPtRu alloy films were prepared by sputtering without a heating process, and exhibited good perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and magnetic hysteresis loop squareness. For the magneto-optical properties, the figure of merit for the CoPtRe alloy film with less than 15 at% Re at λ < 530 nm is shown to be superior to that for TbFeCo amorphous film and inferior 0-4 dB to that of Co/Pt multilayers.
