A method of making amorphous light rare-earth transition metal (LRE-TM)-metalloid alloys having perpendicular magneto anisotropy energy, is provided. In this method of making amorphous LRE-TM-metalloid alloys by depositing a metalloid on an LRE-TM by sputtering, the sign of a saturation magnetostriction constant of the alloy is made opposite to the sign of a stress by applying a different Ar sputtering pressure according to the sign of the saturation magnetostriction constant, in order to increase the effective perpendicular magneto anisotropy energy KUeff containing the components of magneto elastic energy expressed by an expression (here, lambda s is the saturation magnetostriction constant, and sigma is the stress).
