Abstract

Abstract A magneto-optic memory medium comprising a dielectric film, a magneto-optic memory film, a dielectric film and a reflective film superposed in layers on a light trnas­mitting substrate, the magneto-optic memory film being a rare earth-transition metal alloy film having the com­position formula of: (Gd x Tb 1-x ) y Fe 1-y wherein x is 0.58 to 0.62, and y is 0.27 to 0.33, which is useful as a magneto-optic disc or magneto-optic card.
