The influence of the order-disorder structural transition on the magnetic and the magneto-optical properties of Co-rich β-phase Co-Al alloy films has been investigated. The disordered state in these alloy films was prepared by vapor quenching deposition on glass substrates cooled by liquid nitrogen. The experimental study of the magneto-optical properties of the ordered and the disordered Co_(0.62)Al_(0.38) alloy films was carried out in 1.05-5.0 eV energy range at room temperature. The influence of the order-disorder structural transition on the magnetic and the magneto-optical properties is discussed by using the structural-defect approach.
