Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize an excellent protective effect and corrosion resistant effect by forming a protective film essentially consisting of SiO2, Al2O3, B2O3 and alkaline earth metal oxide. CONSTITUTION:The protective film essentially consisting of SiO2, Al2O3, B2O3 and alkaline earth metal oxide is formed as the protective film of a magneto- optical recording medium, more particularly a recording layer consisting of a rare earth-transition metal. For example, said film consists of 50-60wt.% SiO2, 10-20% Al2O3, 5-15% B2O3, and 15-35% alkaline earth metal oxide. The alkaline earth metal oxide which is 1 or >=2 kinds selected from CaO, BaO and SrO is used. As a result, the excellent protective effect and corrosion resistant effect are realized.

When used in 7Ji layers, it is known to have poor storage properties due to lack of corrosion resistance. (Proceedings of the 32nd Applied Physics Association Conference P355.1985. Kobayashi et al.: rR
Regarding pore axes in E-TM films, conventional methods have been to add a third metal such as Cr, At, or Ti to the rare earth-transition metal to provide a protective effect to the recording layer, or to add a third metal such as Cr, At, or Ti to the rare earth-transition metal. A'lN, 8

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventionally proposed methods of adding a third component to the recording thin film layer include ZnS, AftN, Si, and N4 on the recording thin film layer.
.. In the method of applying a protective film such as Sing, in the former case, addition of the third component causes undesirable changes in characteristics such as deterioration of the magnetic properties of the recording thin film, and furthermore, corrosion resistance is not sufficiently improved. . In the latter case, although there was an improvement in gas resistance, the corrosion resistance against water was insufficient.
