The recording on the magneto-optical disk memory is classified into Curie point recording, compensation point recording, and recording utilizing the temperature change of coercive force. In either of these methods, a constant magnetic field is applied to the recording medium from the outside, the laser light is focused on the magnetic field application point to locally raise the temperature, and the magnetization is changed in the direction of the external magnetic field for recording. This is called thermomagnetic recording.

Next, a known method of this thermomagnetic recording will be schematically described. FIG. 1 shows an example of a conventional thermomagnetic recording system. 1 is a transparent substrate such as glass, 2 is a recording magnetic thin film, 3
Is a protective plate. Reference numeral 4 is a laser beam, 5 is a condenser lens for condensing the laser beam, and 6 is a coil for supplying a magnetic field to the recording magnetic thin film. In the system shown in FIG. 1, the required magnetic field can be easily obtained by changing the direction or magnitude of the current passed through the coil, so that the mechanism is simple. However, in general, the recording magnetic thin film 2 has a recording capacity of about 100 when recording or erasing.
O e very large magnetic field that is required, and in order to supply a magnetic field to the recording magnetic film 2 must supply a magnetic field to the transparent substrate 1 your teeth, the coils as much as possible for the Even if 6 is brought close to the transparent substrate 1, the gap between the coil 6 and the recording magnetic thin film 2 needs to be about 2 mm because of a gap or the like for preventing contact between the coil 6 and the transparent substrate 1. However, in order to deal with this, it is necessary to increase the current flowing through the coil 6 or increase the size of the coil 6. However, neither of these measures was practical because the device was large.

On the other hand, FIG. 2 shows another example of the conventional thermomagnetic recording system. In this system, unlike the system shown in FIG. 1, a magnetic field is supplied to the recording magnetic thin film 2 by a permanent magnet 7 on the side opposite to the condenser lens 5 with the recording magnetic thin film 2 sandwiched in place of the coil 6. According to this method, even if the permanent magnet 7 is relatively small, a strong magnetic field can be obtained, so there is no need to worry about increasing the size of the device. However, attention must be paid to the magnitude of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 7.

When the material of the recording magnetic thin film 2 is a medium having a large residual magnetization such as MnCuBi, the stray magnetic field from the peripheral portion of the recording portion is large and an external magnetic field is not required during recording. A method is conceivable in which the permanent magnet 7 is brought close to the recording magnetic thin film 2 only at the time of erasing while keeping away from the thin body film 2. However, the recording magnetic thin film 2 is GbTbFe, GdTb
In the case of a rare earth-iron-based amorphous magnetic material such as DyFe, TbDyFe, GdDyFe, and TbFe, the stray magnetism from the periphery of the recording area is small, and therefore external magnetic fields in opposite directions are applied during recording and erasing. There is a need. As an example, when a GbTbDyFe film is used as the recording magnetic thin film 2,
The coercive force of the TbDyFe film is 0.6 kOe to 1.5 kOe, and the Curie point is 1
Although the temperature was 20 ° C., an external magnetic field of 100 Oe to 200 Oe was required for recording and an external magnetic field of 200 Oe to 300 Oe was required for erasing.

When the recording magnetic substance thin film 2 is made of the rare earth-iron type amorphous magnetic substance, an external magnetic field is applied to the recording magnetic substance thin film 2.
It has been found that even if the coercive force is smaller than the coercive force of the above, if it is applied to the recording magnetic thin film 2 for a long time, the recorded information deteriorates at room temperature. For example, the coercive force is 0.
300k in the direction of the recording bit magnetization on the 6kOe GdTbDyFe film
It was found that when the magnetic field of e was applied and left for 48 to 72 hours, the recording bit diameter increased, and conversely, when the magnetic field of 300 Oe was applied in the direction opposite to the magnetization of the recording bit and left, the recording bit diameter decreased. . The instability phenomenon of the recorded information is caused by the fact that the magnetization of the micro-defects of the magnetic thin film is reversed even in the reverse magnetic field smaller than the coercive force of the magnetic thin film, and the reversal magnetization gradually expands due to the domain wall movement. ing. The present inventors have confirmed that the recorded information is stable for a long time if the external magnetic field applied to the magnetic thin film is 1/3 or less of the coercive force of the magnetic thin film.

In addition, the coercive force of the magnetic thin film changes depending on the temperature.
The iron-based amorphous magnetic thin film has the characteristics shown in FIG. In the figure, T comp is a compensation point and T c is a Curie point. As shown in the figure, the coercive force of the magnetic thin film changes greatly depending on the temperature. For example, if the room temperature rises by about 10 ° C., the coercive force may drop to about half. Therefore, it is understood that when a recording medium is composed of a rare earth-iron-based amorphous magnetic thin film, it must be used with care at room temperature.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of essential parts of an embodiment of the thermomagnetic recording apparatus according to the present invention. Reference numeral 8 is a magneto-optical disk formed by forming a rare earth-iron-based amorphous magnetic thin film on a substrate, and 9 is a motor for rotationally driving the magneto-optical disk. The rare earth-iron-based amorphous magnetic thin film is formed in the portion between A and B in the figure (the length of the portion is referred to as the effective radius). Reference numeral 10 is an erasing permanent magnet that generates a strong magnetic field, and 11 is a recording permanent magnet that generates a weak magnetic field. The erasing magnet 10 is provided on the front side of the magnet holder 12, and the recording magnet 11 is provided on the back side. However, the magnet holder 12 can be rotated by a stepping motor 13, and the erasing magnet 10 and the recording magnet 11 can reverse their positions. Reference numeral 14 is a disk fixed to the magnet holder 12, and holes are formed at appropriate places on the disk. 15
Is a position sensor having a photocoupler therein. The hole is read by the photocoupler when the disk 14 is rotated, and the positions of the erasing magnet 10 and the recording magnet 11 are recognized by the reading. Since the erasing magnet 10 and the recording magnet 11 form a rod-shaped body longer than the effective radius of the magnetic thin film of the magneto-optical disk 8, movement of the optical head (not shown) in the radial direction of the magneto-optical disk. At the same time, it is not necessary to interlock the erasing magnet 10 and the recording magnet 11, and therefore the mechanism for applying the external magnetic field is simple. In the figure, C indicates the laser light irradiation direction of the optical head. Reference numeral 16 denotes a support plate, which supports the stepping motor 13 via a shaft 17. The stepping motor 13 is provided with a mechanism capable of rotating in the direction of arrow D about the above-mentioned axis, and automatically rotates in the direction of arrow D when the device temperature exceeds the stable range of the recording medium or the power is turned off. The erasing magnet 10 and the recording magnet 11 are kept away from the recording medium. Thus, the mechanism is such that the information recorded on the recording medium is not disturbed by the erasing magnet 10 and the recording magnet 11.
