A magneto-optical recording medium includes a first magnetic layer (reproduction layer), a second magnetic layer (control layer), a third magnetic layer (blocking layer), and a fourth magnetic layer (recording layer) having respective Curie temperatures TC1, TC2, TC3 and TC4. The Curie temperatures of the layers satisfy the relationships TC1>TC3>TC2 and TC4>TC3. In addition, the magnetic anisotropy of the third magnetic layer Ku3 is greater than that of the second magnetic layer Ku2. A magnetic domain wall in the first magnetic layer in front of the spot irradiated by the reproduction light in the direction of travel is displaced toward the peak temperature portion so that a recorded domain is expanded. Displacement in the spot direction of a domain wall in the first magnetic layer behind the reproduction light spot in the direction of travel is suppressed. The second and third magnetic layers control the magnetic exchange coupling between the first and fourth magnetic layers.

A magneto-optical recording/reproducing method is disclosed which causes a laser beam to be emitted to a disc recording medium having information recorded thereon earlier by magnetic field modulation, the laser beam causing the disc recording medium to develop a temperature distribution such as to generate a driving force for moving a domain wall of a magnetic domain in the medium so that the magnetic domain smaller in diameter than a spot of the laser beam is expanded sufficiently to let information recorded in the domain be detected. The method comprises the steps of: recording information to the disc recording medium while rotating the medium in a first rotating direction; and reproducing the information that was recorded to the disc recording medium in the recording step while rotating the medium in a second rotating direction reverse to the first rotating direction.

According to the present invention, when a land-groove recording method is adopted, thermal crosstalk between a land and an adjoining groove is suppressed effectively. Inhomogeneity of a recording layer between the land and groove is suppressed effectively. A substrate for optical recording media comprises groove-like concave parts (2) and convex parts each created between adjoining concave parts. A border sidewall (4) between a concave part and an adjoining convex part (2) has a plurality of sidewall planes, that is, at least a first sidewall plane (41) that leads to the bed of the concave part and a second sidewall plane (42) that leads to the apical plane of the convex part. The first sidewall plane meets the bed of the concave part at an angle ranging from 120° to less than 180°. The second sidewall plane meets the bed of the concave part at an angle ranging from 90° to 110°. A discontinuous part (6) is produced at least along a borderline between the first sidewall plane and second sidewall plane. The presence of the discontinuous part (6) is effective in minimizing thermal crosstalk between the concave part (2) and convex part (3) and suppressing inhomogeneity of a recording layer between a land and an adjoining groove.

A multilayer optical recording medium includes a plurality of interfacial surfaces that reflect an incident light beam, and neighboring ones of the interfacial surfaces has a spacer therebetween. When a light incident surface side is defined as an upper surface side, a different thickness layer unit including the spacers having different thicknesses arranged sequentially is disposed on the lowermost layer side, and the spacers each having a thickness different from the thickness of any one of the spacers arranged in the different thickness layer unit are sequentially arranged above the different thickness layer unit.
