The experiments on the stability of small bits in amorphous GdCo thin films under changes of the external magnetic field and the temperature were performed. It is concluded that the bits written in films which are inhomogeneous along the film thickness are stable. No deterioration for the thermomagnetic and magneto-optic application could be found in these films.
