This magnetic recording medium has a substrate, a nonmagnetic granular layer formed above the substrate and a recording layer formed on the nonmagnetic granular layer. The nonmagnetic granular layer is made of CoCr alloy with an hcp or an fcc crystal structure in which a nonmagnetic material segregates virtually-columnar magnetic grains. The magnetic recording medium and the magnetic storage apparatus in which the medium is used have improved reading/writing performances.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium according to the present invention includes a nonmagnetic base material, a soft magnetic under layer, an interlayer, a recording layer and a protective layer, which are stacked over the base material. The soft magnetic under layer is formed of a lower soft magnetic layer, a magnetic domain control layer (or a nonmagnetic layer) and an upper soft magnetic layer. The lower and upper soft magnetic layers are each made of a material amorphized by adding at least one of zirconium (Zr) and tantalum (Ta) to an iron-cobalt (Fe—Co) alloy which is composed to form a body-centered cubic (bcc) structure.
