摘要:
A magnetic recording medium having a non-magnetic substrate; an orientation-regulating layer for regulating the crystal orientation of a layer provided directly thereon; a perpendicular magnetic layer in which easy-magnetization axes are oriented generally perpendicular to the substrate; and a protective layer is disclosed. The perpendicular magnetic layer is formed from a material containing Co as a primary component and at least Cr, Pt, and Nd. A process to produce the magnetic recording medium and a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus are also disclosed.

摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a process for easily producing a magnetic recording medium exhibiting excellent magnetic characteristics. In the present invention, an orientation-determining film is formed on a non-metallic substrate which has undergone texturing, the orientation-determining film is subjected to oxidation or nitridation, and a non-magnetic undercoat film and a magnetic film are formed on the film.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium which exhibits excellent magnetic characteristics and which can be easily produced is disclosed. A magnetic recording medium containing a non-metallic substrate 1, a non-magnetic undercoat film 3, a cobalt alloy hexagonal closed packed (hcp) (110) textured magnetic film 4, and a protective film 5 formed on the substrate. An orientation-determining film 2, which determines the crystal orientation of an undercoat film provided directly thereon to cause the texture of the undercoat film to be (200), is formed between the substrate 1 and the undercoat film 3. The orientation-determining film 2 has a crystal structure such that columnar fine crystal grains 2a are inclined in a radial direction of the substrate 1, and the ratio of a coercive force in a circumferential direction of the medium (Hcc) to a coercive force in a radial direction of the medium (Hcr); i.e., Hcc/Hcr, is more than 1.
