Abstract

Polar-Faraday-rotation and magnetization measurements on evaporated amorphous films of Ho-Co and Ho-Fe show that the principle mechanism responsible for differences in the ${T}_{C}$ of the crystalline and amorphous states is the altered electronic configuration of the transition metal, rather than local anisotropy. Additionally we found that the films possess uniaxial anisotropy.
