[Solving Means] A magnetic recording medium according to an embodiment of the present technology is a tape-shaped magnetic recording medium, including: a magnetic layer including a servo band, a servo signal being recorded on the servo band. An index expressed by Sq×Fact.(p−p)/F0(p−p) is 0.42 or more, Sq being a squareness ratio of the magnetic layer in a perpendicular direction, F0(p−p) being a peak-to-peak value of a first magnetic force gradient strength observed by a magnetic force microscope when a servo signal is saturation-recorded on the magnetic layer, Fact.(p−p) being a peak-to-peak value of a second magnetic force gradient strength for the servo signal recorded on the servo band observed by the magnetic force microscope.

Abstract:
A permanent magnet is fabricated such that it has a magnetically hard core surrounded by a thin magnetically soft shell. The magnetically hard core provides a relatively high intrinsic coercivity (Hci), and the magnetically soft shell provides a relatively high magnetic flux density (B). Due to magnetic exchange coupling between the core and shell, a relatively high maximum energy product (BH)max is achievable over a wide temperature range, including temperatures above 150° C. Further, such effects can be achieved without using rare-earth metals or precious metals helping to keep the manufacturing costs of the magnet low. To allow sufficient exchange magnetic coupling between the core and shell, the width of the shell is less than about 40 nanometers, and the overall dimensions are controlled such that the width of the shell is less than two times the Bloch domain wall thickness of the core.

Abstract:
A magnetic storage medium is formed of magnetic nanoparticles that are encapsulated within carbon nanotubes, which are arranged in a substrate to facilitate the reading and writing of information by a read/write head. The substrate may be flexible or rigid. Information is stored on the magnetic nanoparticles via the read/write head of a storage device. These magnetic nanoparticles are arranged into data tracks to store information through encapsulation within the carbon nanotubes. As carbon nanotubes are bendable, the carbon nanotubes may be arranged on flexible or rigid substrates, such as a polymer tape or disk for flexible media, or a glass substrate for rigid disk. A polymer may assist holding the nano-particle filled carbon-tubes to the substrate.
