Abstract

A magneto-optical recording medium operable with a low external magnetic field intensity during recording and erasing and attenuating a variation in the external magnetic field intensity comprises a magneto-optical recording layer and protective and reflective layer provided adjacent to the magneto-optical recording layers, each of which has a size of microstructures (which are associated with the non-uniformity in composition, density, crystallizability, and the like and visible under a transmission electron microscope) less than the width of a magnetic domain wall in the magneto-optical recording layer.
