For nanodimensional magnetically inhomogeneous amorphous granular films of the system (Co 84 Nb 14 Ta 2 ) x (SiO 2 ) 100−x , 30 ≤ x ≤ 60 at.% the concentration dependences of the magnetooptical Kerr effect (MOKE) spectra and FMR have been investigated. The observed changes in the MOKE and FMR spectra are associated with transformations of microstructure and topology of the nanocomposites. For the compositions within the percolation region the transversal Kerr effect increases by an order of magnitude.

Magnetic and magneto-optical properties of multilayers based on the (Co45Fe45Zr10)Z(Al2O3)100-Z composite and amorphous hydrogenated silicon with various thicknesses both of magnetic and semiconductor layers have been investigated. The nonlinear dependence of magnetic and MO characteristics of the nanostructures on the thickness of layers was found. The interface formed on the boundary of two phases (the ferromagnetic granules and the semiconductor ones) strongly influences the magnetic and MO properties of the structures with thin Si layers.

Magnetic properties and ferromagnetic resonance data of (Co41Fe39B20)x-(SiO2)100-x composite films and multilayer structures composed of these films separated by SiC interlayers have been studied. It has been shown that one of the possible causes responsible for the differences of magnetic properties of composites and multilayer structures can be different shapes of magnetic particles and granules in these materials.
