PURPOSE:To obtain an amorphous Te-Cr compound material having a specified composition which is useful as a magnetic material etc. by heating and melting a mixture of TeO2 and Cr2O3, and subjecting the melt to extremely rapid cooling. CONSTITUTION:A mixture of TeO2 and Cr2O3, having a specified composition, is packed in a tube 7 for heating a starting material, heated by a coil 5 for dielectric heating at a temp. which is 50-200 deg.C higher than the m.p. of said mixture, and melted. Then the melt is spouted by gas pressure to the surface of a roll 13 for rapid cooling revolving at a peripheral speed of 5-35m/sec from the blowhole of a nozzle 11 for spouting the molten material, provided to said tube 7 and having slit-shaped, circular, or elliptic form. Said melt is cooled at an ultrahigh cooling rate of 10<4>-10<6> deg.C/sec, and the amorphous Te-Cr compound material, having the composition of (TeO2)1-x.(Cr2O3)x (where 0.40>=x>0), is obtained. Said material is subjected to heat treatment below its crystallization temp. for a specified time, and the oriented polycrystalline thin film material, which is useful as an optical storage material etc., can be obtained.
