摘要:
Disclosed is a magnetic recording medium comprising a predetermined substrate having or not having a soft magnetic thin film provided thereon, a layer formed thereon for controlling the columnar crystal grain size in a thin magnetic film formed on the substrate, and the thin magnetic film provided on the columnar crystal grain size control layer. The above-mentioned columnar crystal grain size control layer is a film having a close-packed hexagonal lattice structure and made of one element selected from among Ru, Sc, Y, and Zn, or two or more elements selected from among Ru, Sc, Y, Zn, and Ti; or a film having a close-packed hexagonal lattice structure and made of Co or a Co-based alloy. The columnar crystal grain size control layer may consist of two layers, the under layer of which is made of one or more elements selected from among Si, Ge, and Sn.

Disclosed is a perpendicular magnetic recording medium wherein an underlayer made of a material containing Si and/or Ge as its principal ingredient is deposited on a substrate, and a perpendicular magnetic film made of a Co-based alloy is deposited on the underlayer. With the perpendicular magnetic recording medium, the perpendicular magnetic film has an enhanced degree of C-axis orientation, and the bond strength between the perpendicular magnetic film and the substrate is also enhanced when the substrate is non-metallic.
摘要:
Magnetic recording medium includes at least two layers having different magnetic anisotropy constants formed on a substrate and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the second magnetic film of those magnetic films, far from the substrate surface, made equal to or larger than that of the first magnetic film near to the substrate surface, thus improving the magnetic isolation of the first magnetic film near to the substrate surface.

The present invention relates to a perpendicular magnetic recording medium and a magnetic storage apparatus which are improved to be suitable for high-density magnetic recording. An object thereof is to provide the perpendicular magnetic recording medium and the magnetic storage apparatus which have a low noise property for realizing a recording density of 10 Gb/in.2 or more and a high stability against thermal fluctuation. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium comprising a perpendicular magnetic film formed through an underlayer on a nonmagnetic substrate, wherein the underlayer comprises a material having a hexagonal close packed structure or an amorphous structure, and has a first underlayer nearer to the substrate, and a second underlayer having a hexagonal close packed structure formed on the first underlayer and a preferred growth orientation of [0001] and comprising a material capable of hetero-epitaxy growth onto the perpendicular magnetic film.

A perpendicular magnetic recording medium which has been improved to be suitable for high-density magnetic recording and a magnetic recording apparatus using the medium are provided. The magnetic back film of a dual-layer perpendicular recording medium is caused to be constituted by a plurality of layers, and a keeper layer 17 for keeping perpendicular magnetization and layers 13 and 15 for improving the recording efficiency of a recording head are functionally separated from one another. Further, the magnetization orientations of the soft magnetic films excluding the keeper layer are defined to be in the circumferential direction of the disk, whereby the frequency of occurrence of noise is decreased.

摘要:
A magnetic recording medium comprising a substrate, a ferromagnetic thin film formed on the substrate, and a protective film formed directly on the ferromagnetic think film, and a process for producing such magnetic recording medium. The expression "formed directly" refers to the technique for forming the protective film on the ferromagnetic thin film so that the interface therebetween is free from contamination by, for instance, conducting the protective film formation under the vacuum used when forming the ferromagnetic thin film.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium which comprises a non-magnetic substrate, a magnetic film formed on the substrate and a protective film provided on the magnetic film, the protective film being composed of at least two groups of element, the element in one group being at least one of B and C having a smaller atomic size, and a concentration of the element increasing from the interface side of the protective film with the magnetic film toward the opposite face side throughout the protective film has an improved durability against a magnetic head.
