Composition and wavelength dependence of the Faraday rotation of amorphous gadolinium alloys
- 1. IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598
Description
Measurements of the wavelength dependence of the Faraday rotation θ/sub F/ for thin film amorphous ferrimagnetic alloys of Gd with Co, Fe or FeCo show values of θ/sub F/ increasing up to 3x10/sup 5/ deg/cm with increasing wavelength. The data fits a model in which the contributions to θ/sub F/ of the two ferrimagnetic subnetworks are independent of each other and are additive. It is found that the contribution of Gd to θ/sub F/ is zero in Co-rich compositions
