            Application 07/963,189                                                                     


            6, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17 and 20) or a silver-copper alloy with a                              
            copper content of from 1 to 30 atomic percent (claim 7).                                   

                                             THE CLAIMS                                                
                  There are four independent claims before us for our                                  
            consideration. Claim 1 is an independent claim directed to a                               
            compact disk comprising, inter alia, a reflecting layer which                              
            is a silver-palladium alloy having a palladium content of from                             
            1 to 15 atomic percent. Claim 7 is an independent claim drawn                              
            to a compact disk comprising, inter alia, a reflecting layer                               
            which is a silver-copper alloy having a copper content of from                             
            1 to 30 atomic percent. Claim 13 is an independent claim                                   
            directed to a method for improving the storage characteristics                             
            of a compact disk having a recording layer proximate to a                                  
            reflecting layer comprising depositing a reflecting layer of a                             
            silver-palladium alloy having a palladium content of from 1 to                             
            15 atomic percent on the recording layer of said disk. Claim                               
            17 is an independent claim drawn to a storage medium for                                   
            storing information by vertically oriented magnetic domains                                
            comprising, inter alia, a reflecting layer coupled to the                                  
            recording layer and including a silver-palladium alloy having                              

                                                  6
