摘要:
In a magnetic recording medium having a nonmagnetic disk substrate and a magnetic film formed on the surface of the non-magnetic disk substrate, a surface average roughness factor Ra(r) on the surface of the medium being from 0.3 nm to 3 nm, an orientation ratio of coercivity being from 0.1 to 0.7, and an in-plane magnetic anisotropic energy being from 3.times.10.sup.4 J/m.sup.3 to 5.times.10.sup.5 J/m.sup.3. By using such a medium, it is possible to provide a magnetic recording apparatus in which the magnetic head is capable of flying in a low position and high-density recording is achieved.

A magnetic recording medium used in a magnetic recording apparatus has a non-magnetic substrate, a magnetic film formed on the substrate, an optional protective film formed on the magnetic film and a lubricating layer formed on the top surface of the medium. The lubricating layer is made of an organic polymer lubricant having molecules with an interstitial radius of not more that 0.31 nm. The interstitial radius is affected by coating the lubricant on the protective film after the protective film has been cleaned with a surface treatment, such as an oxygen plasma treatment or an ozone treatment. By maintaining the interstitial radius between molecules of the lubricant layer equal to or less than 0.31 nm, water and corrosive molecules in water cannot penetrate the lubricating layer and corrode the magnetic film. Also, the lubricant layer provides good sliding durability with a resultant long CSS life.

Disclosed is a magnetic recording medium and a method for manufacturing the same to provide a magnetic recording medium reducing medium noise and having excellent thermal stability. The magnetic recording medium includes a substantially amorphous seed layer and a polycrystal underlayer made of crystal grains having a substantially columnar structure, the polycrystal underlayer contacting thereto. In a boundary between the seed layer and the underlayer, fine grooves having a period up to as large as the magnetic layer crystal grain diameter are formed in the disc circumferential direction. Accordingly, the magnetic recording medium is allowed to have a grain shape with a value obtained by dividing the average grain diameter for the disc circumferential direction by the average grain diameter for the disc radial direction of no less than 0.5 and no more than 0.9, thus achieving simultaneously reduction of the medium noise and thermal stability.

摘要:
A non-ferromagnetic metal thin film is formed on a non-ferromagnetic substrate such as a glass substrate. A target principally containing an intermetallic compound is sputtered to form a fine structure having discrete bumps provided on the surface of the substrate. In addition, ring bumps different from the bumps of the intermetallic compound are formed on a contact start/stop zone by a laser or other means, thus completing a magnetic recording medium.
