摘要:
A novel method of manufacturing a longitudinal granular oxide recording medium is disclosed. The method preferably entails obtaining a non-magnetic substrate, heating the substrate at a temperature T1 that is greater than 150° C., forming a first layer with body-centered cubic atomic structure and with a preferred growth orientation, cooling the substrate to a temperature T2 and forming a second layer comprising a magnetic oxide-containing granular magnetic layer with a hexagonal close packed atomic structure and with a preferred growth orientation. The magnetic oxide-containing granular magnetic layer contains magnetic crystal grains that are substantially isolated by an inter-granular region comprising a non-magnetic substance, wherein the non-magnetic substance is preferably an oxide-containing material.

A perpendicular magnetic recording layer of a magnetic recording medium includes a plurality of bit-patterned magnetic islands, wherein each of the plurality of islands overlay a soft magnetic under-layer. Each of the magnetic islands includes a first magnetic sub-layer adjacent a second magnetic sub-layer, wherein the first sub-layer has a relatively high magnetic anisotropy that is greater than a magnetic anisotropy of the second sub-layer. The magnetic recording layer further includes a third sub-layer, which extends to connect each of the plurality of islands. The third sub-layer may have a magnetic anisotropy that is less than that of the second sub-layer of each of the magnetic islands and/or may serve as an interlayer, extending between the first sub-layer and the soft magnetic under-layer of the recording medium, and having a structure to help to produce the greater anisotropy first magnetic sub-layer.
