The contribution of Gd and/or (Fe,Co) to the saturation magnetostriction constant λs of pseudobinary Gdx(Fe100−yCoy)100−x (9〈x〈65, y=100, 74,38, or 0) films has been examined by substituting nonmagnetic Y for Gd or nonmagnetic Cu for (Fe,Co) and comparing λs of these alloys at 300 and 80 K. The magnetostriction of Gdx(Fe,Co)100−x as well as Yx(Fe,Co)100−x films are positive and the composition (x) dependence of λs in Gd alloys is similar to Y alloys, but λs of Gd alloys are larger than Y alloys. It was further found that GdxCu100−x (35〈x〈60) shows positive λs at 80 K. These facts indicate positive contribution of Gd to λs in amorphous Gd-(Fe,Co) alloys.
