Abstract
The optical and polar Kerr magneto-optical properties of a series of Co/Pt/ AlN multilayers have been determined in the photon energy range 1.4-4 eV. O bservations of the spectral variation of reflectivity are discussed in term s of the optical properties of the constituent materials using multilayer t heory. Magneto-optic polar Kerr spectra over the same energy range are also discussed taking into account the modified magnetic properties resulting f rom undesirable structural changes in the films.
