Magneto-optical properties of PtMnSb/TbFe double-layered films.

Abstract
Magneto-optical properties of rf-sputtered PtMnSb/TbFe films with a double layered structure have been investigated to improve the magnetic and magneto-optical properties of a PtMnSb monolayered film. Measurements of polar Kerr effect of PtMnSb/TbFe double layered films were made using a Xe lamp under an external magnetic field H=5 kOe. The Kerr rotation peak of the films was found to shift at a wavelength shorter than that of PtMnSb monolayered film. The coercive force Hc of the PtMnSb/TbFe double layered films was found to be about 700 Oe, which was six times as large as that of PtMnSb monolavered film.
