Abstract:
It is to provide a glass substrate for a magnetic disk to be a source of a magnetic disk for heat assisted magnetic recording and a magnetic disk for heat assisted magnetic recording which can restrain the occurrence of scratches when a magnetic head is in operation.A glass substrate for a magnetic disk to be a source of a magnetic disk for heat assisted magnetic recording includes a principal face on which an arithmetic average waviness Wa of a wavelength band of 1 to 3 mm is 2.15 Å or less.
