Abstract: A heat-assisted magnetic recording medium includes a substrate, an underlayer, and a magnetic layer including an alloy having a L10 crystal structure and first and second layers, arranged in this order. Each of the first and second layers has a granular structure including C, SiO2, and BN at grain boundaries. Vol % of the grain boundaries in each of the first and second layers is 25 to 45 vol %. Vol % of C in the first layer is 5 to 22 vol %, and a volume ratio of SiO2 with respect to BN in each of the first and second layers is 0.25 to 3.5. Vol % of SiO2 in the second layer is greater than that of the first layer by 5 vol % or more. Vol % of BN in the second layer is smaller than that in the first layer by 2 vol % or more.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium includes a substrate, an underlayer, and a magnetic layer that are arranged in this order. The magnetic layer has a granular structure including magnetic grains having a L10 crystal structure, and grain boundary parts having a volume fraction in a range of 25 volume % to 50 volume %. The magnetic grains have a c-axis orientation with respect to the substrate. The grain boundary parts include a material having a lattice constant in a range of 0.30 nm to 0.36 nm, or in a range of 0.60 nm to 0.72 nm.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium includes a substrate, and a magnetic recording layer including magnetic grains having an L10 structure. The magnetic recording layer is (001) oriented, and a surface of growth of the magnetic recording layer includes a (001) plane, a (111) plane, and planes equivalent to the (111) plane. An area ratio of the (111) plane and the planes equivalent to the (111) plane, represented by (A111+A111e)/(A001+A111+A111e), is in a range of 0.2 to 0.7, where A111 denotes an area of the (111) plane, A111e denotes an area of the planes equivalent to the (111) plane, and A001 denotes an area of the (001) plane.
