Abstract. The effect of the Ni addition on the structure and magneto-optical (MO) properties is investigated with (CoPt3)1−xNix alloy films. The result shows that, lower Tc and higher Hc could be simultaneously obtained in the Ni range of 0.43–0.7. 〈111〉〉 texture is not the only reason for perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in the present system. Although Ni addition reduces the Kerr rotation angle value in the blue-wave range, it slightly enhances the value in the red-wave range. The films investigated can be considered as suitable for perpendicular magnetic recording applications if the proper Ni addition range (0.43–0.5) is selected.
