摘要:
A perpendicular magnetic recording medium is disclosed that is able to prevent the Wide Area Track Erasure phenomenon from occurring and is capable of high density recording. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium includes a substrate; a soft-magnetic backup stack structure including a first magnetic layer, a first non-magnetic coupling layer, and a second magnetic layer stacked on the substrate in order; an intermediate layer formed from a non-magnetic material on the soft-magnetic backup stacked structure; and a recording layer on the intermediate layer, the recording layer having an easy axis of magnetization perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. The first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer are formed from a poly-crystal soft-magnetic material, each of the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer has an easy axis of magnetization in the surface thereof, and the magnetization of the first magnetic layer and the magnetization of the second magnetic layer are coupled and anti-parallel to each other.

The thickness of the spacer layer is set in such as way as to obtain the anti-parallel magnetic coupling between two amorphous ferromagnetic layers in the perpendicular medium. When the thickness of the spacer layer is changed, the exchange field shows an oscillatory behavior and the highest values of the exchange fields are obtained at various thicknesses and indicates an anti-parallel exchange between them. A conventional recording medium applies the smallest thickness (1st APS) among the thicknesses corresponding to the exchange field maximum. On the other hand, the present invention applies the second smallest thickness (2nd APS) to obtain larger tolerance of spacer layer thickness and improved writability and enhanced recording performance.
摘要:
A perpendicular magnetic recording medium is disclosed that includes a substrate, and a recording layer formed on the substrate, the recording layer having a magnetic easy axis substantially perpendicular to the surface of the substrate and including three or more magnetic layers containing a Co alloy having a hcp structure. The two of the magnetic layers included in the recording layer form an anti-ferromagnetic exchange coupling structure. The two magnetic layers are anti-ferromagnetically exchange coupled via a non-magnetic coupling layer situated therebetween. The magnetizations of the two magnetic layers are anti-parallel to each other at a remanent magnetization state.
