摘要:
A recording medium including a perpendicular magnetic recording layer and a laminated SUL formed on a substrate is provided. The SUL includes an antiferromagnetic layer interposed between laminated structures including a magnetic layer, a non-magnetic layer and a magnetic layer. The layers may each have a thickness of 20 nm or less and the layers below the antiferromagnetic layer may be thinner than the layers on the antiferromagnetic layer. The laminated structures formed on and below the antiferromagnetic layer have unidirectional magnetic anisotropies set in the opposite radial direction to each other by an exchange bias. As a result, media magnetic domain noise can be diminished.

摘要:
Provided are a perpendicular magnetic recording medium having an underlayer between a substrate and a recording layer and a method of manufacturing the perpendicular magnetic recording medium. The method of manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic recording medium includes forming the underlayer of a plural-layer structure by at least 2 step processes under different deposition conditions. When using the underlayer formed by a 2-step manufacturing method, superior crystalline and high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy can be secured due to the lower underlayer, and the perpendicular magnetic recording layer having a high perpendicular coercivity and a small magnetic domain can be formed due to the underlayer beneath the recording layer.

摘要:
A perpendicular magnetic recording medium including a Co-based magnetic recording layer, a substrate supporting the magnetic recording layer, and a perpendicular orientation underlayer placed between the magnetic recording layer and the substrate. The perpendicular orientation underlayer is composed of a Ru—Co alloy with 1-65 at. % of Co. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium can achieve good crystallinity and good magnetic characteristics by having the perpendicular orientation underlayer with a small lattice mismatch for the recording layer.
