 69 were found to have perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) both at 25 and 300 K. In Tb-Fe-Co films, all the films were observed to exhibit planar anisotropy at 25 K, due to the increase of strain-induced anisotropy as a result of large magnetostriction at low temperatures leading to the development of in-plane anisotropy.
