The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and magneto-optical properties of sputtered (Co-Tb)/Pd multilayered films were studied. Thick CoTb layers with high Tb concentrations were amorphous. Like in the crystalline Co/Pd multilayered films, perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was observed only for (Co-Tb)/Pd multilayers with thin magnetic layers. The magnetic layer thickness range over which the easy magnetization axis is perpendicular to the film plane is much broader for (Co-Tb)/Pd multilayers than for Co/Pd multilayered films. Kerr rotation angles were found to decrease with increasing Tb concentration.
