Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 75 words
A magnetooptical storage element comprising a multi-layered structure having successively a transparent substrate (101), a first transparent dielectric film (102) having a refractive index higher than that of the transparent substrate (101), a thin film (103) of an amorphous alloy containing rare-earth transition metals, a second transparent dielectric film (104), and a reflecting metal film (105), characterised in that the reflecting film is made of a metal or metalloid having a low thermal conductivity coefficient.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 75 words
A magnetooptical storage element comprising a multi-layered structure having successively a transparent substrate (101), a first transparent dielectric film (102) having a refractive index higher than that of the transparent substrate (101), a thin film (103) of an amorphous alloy containing rare-earth transition metals, a second transparent dielectric film (104), and a reflecting metal film (105), characterised in that the reflecting film is made of a metal or metalloid having a low thermal conductivity coefficient.
