    摘要: Since the surface roughness of a recording layer get larger in the process of fabricating a patterned medium, the spacing between a head and the medium is widened. As a result, the recording performance and corrosion resistance of the medium are degraded. In the patterned medium, a recording layer includes one layer of a crystalline magnetic film or plural layers of crystalline magnetic films, and a magnetic film of an amorphous structure located on the outermost surface of the crystalline magnetic films. The compositional elements of the magnetic film of the amorphous structure are identical to those of the crystalline magnetic film located immediately under the magnetic film. In a fabrication method thereof, the surface of the crystalline magnetic film is turned into amorphous in order to form the magnetic film of the amorphous structure.

    摘要: Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a perpendicular recording medium with low noise and high recording density by reducing the effects from noise generated from the vicinity of the interface with the intermediate layer of the recording layer, in a perpendicular recording medium utilizing a granular recording layer containing oxygen or oxide additive in a cobalt-chromium alloy formed on an intermediate layer with a ruthenium or ruthenium alloy layer. A first recording layer and a second recording layer are formed in order on an intermediate layer of ruthenium or ruthenium alloy. The first recording layer and the second recording layer are comprised of cobalt as the main material in a granular structure containing chromium and oxygen. The saturation magnetization of the first recording layer is lower than the saturation magnetization of the second recording layer. When a first recording layer saturation magnetization is set as Ms1(emu per cubic centimeter), a second recording layer saturation magnetization is set as Ms2(emu per cubic centimeter), and the first recording layer film thickness is set to t1 (nm), then (Ms2−Ms1)×t1 will be larger than 0 (memu per square centimeter) and smaller than 0.15 (memu per square centimeter).

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention help allow accurate control of the magnetization reversal in a magnetic recording layer in small reversal units, whereby high-density recording can be achieved. According to one embodiment, by forming an intermediate layer having a granular structure similar to that of the magnetic recording layer below the magnetic recording layer, a continuous crystal grain boundary is formed at the interface between the magnetic recording layer and the intermediate layer, thereby preventing incomplete formation of the crystal grain boundary found in the initial growth layer of the magnetic recording layer. The intermediate layer comprises a non-magnetic alloy comprising Co and Cr as its main components and an oxide such as Al, Cr, Hf. Mg, Nb, Si, Ta, Ti and Zr. Further, the average content of the oxygen element in the intermediate layer is in the range from 6 at % to 20 at %.

The first magnetic layer (which is closer to the substrate than the non-magnetic intermediate layer) is formed from an alloy composed of Co, Pr, and Cr, with Pt content being 3-9 at %. The second magnetic layer (which is farther from the substrate than the non-magnetic intermediate layer) is formed from a Co-based alloy containing Pt, Cr, and B. The first and second magnetic layers are magnetized in the mutually antiparallel direction in the absence of an applied magnetic field.The magnetic recording medium is characterized by good thermal stability for recording bits, high recording resolution, and low media noise. It is suitable for a magnetic storage for high recording density with high reliability.

    摘要: 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.
