In the 0n recording film, it is considered that the transition metal magnetic moment (87M) is dominant in the thin part near the interface, and the rare earth element magnetic moment (μR1) is dominant in the other parts. As described above, since the polarities of the respective magnetic moments are opposite in the two parts forming one film, it is thought that mutual interference deteriorates the magneto-optical disk characteristics.
