摘要:
A magnetic recording medium comprising a substrate, a ferromagnetic thin film formed on the substrate, and a protective film formed directly on the ferromagnetic thin film, and a process for producing such magnetic recording medium. The expression "formed directly" refers to the technique for forming the protective film on the ferromagnetic thin film so that the interface therebetween is free from contamination by, for instance, conducting the protective film formation under the vacuum used when forming the ferromagnetic thin film.

摘要:
An atomic force microscope is provided for sensing displacement of a cantilever (1) based on a scanning tunneling microscopy. Concretely, the present invention comprises a first microscope having a cantilever (1) for sensing atomic force or magnetic force and an STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) functioned as a second microscope for sensing tunneling current and keeping the tunneling current constant. It results in the microscope being able to carry out atomic force microscopy and tunneling microscopy without changing a single STM tip (1b) and to control the minimal force between the sample (3) and the tip (1b) to be constant.
摘要:
To form a weak-link Josephson junction of the type employing a thin film of an oxide superconductor, a crystal grain boundary produced reflecting an artificial crystal defect is utilized as the weak-link junction. The crystal grain boundary (45) is formed by a method in which atoms of different species are deposited on a predetermined part (42) of the surface of a substrate (40) the predetermined part of the surface of a substrate (40) is disturbed, or parts of different crystal face orientations are formed at the surface of a substrate (40). Then a superconducting thin film (44) is epitaxially grown on the substrate (43). Alternatively the predetermined part of the superconducting thin film (44) epitaxially grown on a substrate (43) is diffused with atoms of different species hampering a superconducting or the predetermined part of the superconductivity thin film (44) is disturbed, the superconducting thin film (44) is then annealed, Also. a superconducting device employing the weak-link junction is disclosed.

Disclosed is a perpendicular magnetic recording medium wherein an under layer (2) made of a material containing Si and/or Ge as its principal ingredient is deposited on a substrate (1), and a perpendicular magnetic film (3) made of a Co-based alloy is deposited on the under layer. With the perpendicular magnetic recording medium, the perpendicular magnetic film has an enhanced degree of C-axis orientation, and the bond strength between the perpendicular magnetic film and the substrate is also enhanced when the substrate is non-metallic.
