  • Abstract
    Amorphous Sm1-xcox-films with uniaxial in-plane anisotropy with various Co-concentrations x (.67 \\leq x \\leq .91) and various film thicknesses d ( 10nm \\leq d \\leq 350nm ) have been prepared by flash-evaporation of SmCo-alloy powders. The saturation magnetization decreases linearly with x in the whole concentration range, whereas the coercive field increases linearly with x down to x\\approx 74 and then decreases. Drastic changes in all magnetic properties occur when at a given chemical composition the film thickness is reduced below d\\approx 50 nm. Head-on domains are separated by zig-zag walls whose amplitudes are analyzed as a function of the material parameters.
