摘要:
A vertical recording type magnetic recording medium which includes at least a vertical magnetic recording layer and a backing layer which backs the vertical magnetic recording layer and is magnetized in a direction toward the inside of the surface. The backing layer is made of ferromagnetic materia1 which has a compensation temperature in the neighborhood of a recording/reproducing temperature at which magnetic information, recorded in the vertica1 magnetic recording layer, is reproduced.
摘要:
A method for recording magnetic information on the recording layer of a magnetic recording medium by means of a magnetic head while heating the recording layer with light shone from an optical head, comprising a first step of moving the magnetic head to a desired position on the magnetic recording medium having a magnetic layer for positioning the optical head, a second step of supplying a field Hr for positioning the optical head from the magnetic head to the magnetic layer for positioning, and a third step of outputting a light Pr for positioning the optical head therefrom to generate a magnetooptic effect between the optical head and the magnetic layer for positioning magnetized by the positioning field Hr and controlling the optical head to face the position of the magnetic head based on a detection value of magnetooptic effect.
摘要:
A nonmagnetic second orientation control layer (37) spreading on the surface of a magnetic first orientation control layer (36) is composed of crystal grains contiguous to each other. A recording magnetic layer (38) spreading on the surface of the second orientation control layer (37) is composed of crystal grains growing from individual crystal grains of the second orientation control layer (37). Crystal orientation of the recording magnetic layer (38) is arranged sufficiently through action of the first and second orientation control layers (36, 37). Crystal orientation can be controlled surely by the recording magnetic layer (38) as compared with a case where only the nonmagnetic second orientation control layer (37) having the same film thickness is employed. Furthermore, film thickness of the second orientation control layer (37) can be reduced through action of the first orientation control layer (36). Sufficient orientation can be established in the recording magnetic layer (38) regardless of a reduction in the film thickness of the second orientation control layer (37) and high electromagnetic conversion characteristics can be attained.
