摘要:
A magnetic recording medium has a magnetic recording film in which the magnitude of saturation magnetization Ms(T=5° K) at 5° K and magnitude of saturation magnetization Ms(T=300° K) at 300° K satisfy: Ms(T=300° K)/Ms(T=5° K)≧0.75. The recording medium enables the high-density recording, and a magnetic recording apparatus using this recording medium can yield a sufficiently high reproduction signal level within the operating temperature range of the apparatus.

A magnetic recording medium having a high coercivity and a high S/N ratio for high-density operation can include either a conductive or a nonconductive substrate. If the substrate is nonconductive, a conducting precoat layer is formed over the substrate. Further, an underlayer may be provided, over which a magnetic layer is formed by a bias sputtering method. The bias sputtering method may use Kr, Xe or Rn as a sputter gas, and employs a negative bias voltage. The magnetic recording medium has a product of remanent magnetization and magnetic layer thickness of 10-150 G.multidot..mu.m and a coercivity of 1600-4000 Oe. In combination with this magnetic recording medium, a large-capacity magnetic recording system has a write head that uses a magnetic material having a saturation magnetic flux density of more than 1.2 T in at least a part of the magnetic core; a read head utilizing the giant magnetoresistance effect; a signal processing circuit that utilizes maximum likelihood decoding; and circuits that correct for asymmetry of the reproduced signals from the magnetoresistive head. In addition, the flying height of the magnetic head slider is set to less than 0.05 .mu.m.

A magnetic recording medium comprises an information-recording film and a ferromagnetic film on a substrate. The information-recording film is composed of, for example, an amorphous ferrimagnetic material having perpendicular magnetization. Further, the ferromagnetic film is composed of a magnetic material which has saturation magnetization larger than that of the information-recording film. Accordingly, the leak magnetic flux from the ferromagnetic film is larger than that from the information-recording film. The magnetic recording medium and a magnetic recording apparatus are obtained, which are excellent in thermal stability and which are preferred to perform super high density recording.

A magnetic recording medium 100 comprises, on a substrate 1, a first orientation control layer 2, a second orientation control layer 4, a soft magnetic layer 6, a non-magnetic layer 8, a recording layer 12, and a carbon protective layer 14. The recording layer 12 is formed of an FePt ordered alloy phase which exhibits ferromagnetism and an FePt3 ordered alloy phase which exhibits paramagnetism. Accordingly, the magnetic coupling force, which acts between those of the FePt ordered alloy phase, is broken by the paramagnetic FePt3 ordered alloy phase. The magnetic interaction between those of the FePt ordered alloy phase is reduced, and thus the noise is reduced. Further, the high density recording can be performed, and the medium is excellent in thermal stability, because the FePt ordered alloy having high crystalline magnetic anisotropy is used for the recording layer 12.

A magnetic recording medium comprises a magnetic recording layer 63 which is formed by using an ordered alloy containing B on a substrate 1 containing an amorphous component. A part of B in the ordered alloy is segregated in a grain boundary, and thus the magnetic interaction, which acts between magnetic grains, can be reduced. Accordingly, it is possible to form fine and minute magnetic domains in the magnetic recording layer 63, and it is possible to reduce the medium noise as well. The temperature, at which the substrate is heated during the film formation of the magnetic recording layer 63, can be suppressed to be low, because the ordering temperature for the ordered alloy containing B is lower than those of ordered alloys not containing B. Therefore, it is possible to use a substrate made of glass which is suitable for the mass production. The magnetic recording layer 63 is also excellent in thermal stability because of the use of the ordered alloy having high magnetic anisotropy. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide the magnetic recording medium for high density recording which is excellent in thermal stability and which involves low medium noise.
摘要:
A magnetic recording apparatus includes a laser light source (132), a recording magnetic head (131) and a magnetoresistive element. The recording magnetic head includes a pair of magnetic poles (100 and 101), between which the magnetoresistive element is interposed. A rotary actuator (Sa) positions the recording magnetic head at a desired track of a magnetic recording medium. A laser beam can be radiated onto the magnetic recording medium to raise the temperature of a region (302) of the medium. This region has a width of the order of the track width. The raised temperature lowers the coercive force of this region, where a recording magnetic field can be applied for high density recording. The rotary actuator may form a yaw angle (&thgr;) with a track of the magnetic recording medium. Even in this case, the recording magnetic head (131) and the reproducing element have no tracking offset from the code track. In addition, if the size of the magnetic poles (100 and 101) of the recording magnetic head are set within a predetermined range, the region (302) heated by the laser beam does not deviate from a recording magnetic field application region (303).
