    摘要: The quantity of oxide contained in a magnetic layer is controlled to control the crystal grains and the segregation structure for ensuring low noise characteristic in a granular magnetic layer of a perpendicular magnetic recording medium. The granular magnetic layer consists of ferromagnetic crystal grains and a nonmagnetic grain boundary region mainly of an oxide surrounding the ferromagnetic crystal grains. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium has a nonmagnetic underlayer composed of a metal or alloy having hexagonal closest-packed crystal structure. The ferromagnetic crystal grain is composed of an alloy containing at least cobalt and platinum. The volume proportion of the nonmagnetic grain boundary region mainly of the oxide falls within a range of 15% to 40% of the volume of the total magnetic layer.

    摘要: A manufacturing method for a magnetic recording medium is disclosed. By using the method, the anisotropic magnetic field (Hk) of an underlayer is improved, spike noise generated in the soft magnetic underlayer is suppressed, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is improved without employing a special layer configuration and without the need for complicated and expensive processing. A soft magnetic underlayer is formed by laminating a soft magnetic lower underlayer, a non-magnetic metal layer, and a soft magnetic upper underlayer in succession on a non-magnetic substrate. After forming the non-magnetic metal layer, its surface is exposed to a gas containing between 2 and 100 at % oxygen. A perpendicular magnetic recording layer is formed on the soft magnetic underlayer.

    摘要: A perpendicular magnetic recording medium has a granular magnetic layer and a nonmagnetic underlayer of a metal or an alloy having a hexagonal close packed (hcp) crystal structure. A seed layer of a metal or an alloy of a face-centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure is provided under the nonmagnetic underlayer. Such a perpendicular magnetic recording medium exhibits excellent magnetic characteristics even when the thickness of the underlayer or the total thickness of the underlayer and the seed layer is very thin. Excellent magnetic characteristics can be obtained even when of the substrate is not preheated. Accordingly, a nonmagnetic substrate, such as a plastic resin can be employed to reduce the manufacturing cost.
