Abstract
An alloy target for making a magneto-optical recording medium by sputtering comprises an alloy containing 10 to 50 atom % of at least one rare earth element selected from among Sm, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Tm and Er, with a balance consisting substantially of at least one transition metal selected from among Co, Fe and Ni. The alloy has a mixed structure composed of at least three phases of intermetallic compounds formed by the rare earth element and the transition metal.
