Embodiments of the invention provide a perpendicular magnetic recording medium that not only attains the magnetic isolation of crystal grains in a magnetic recording layer from one another in a region of the medium in which the thickness of an intermediate layer is equal to or smaller than about 20 nm but also exhibits excellent crystallographic texture and that exhibits small medium noise, excellent thermal stability, and high write-ability. In one embodiment, a perpendicular magnetic recording medium has at least a soft-magnetic underlayer, a first intermediate layer, a second intermediate layer, a third intermediate layer, and a magnetic recording layer successively formed on a substrate. The magnetic recording layer is composed of ferromagnetic crystal grains and oxides or nitrides, the third intermediate layer is composed of Ru or an Ru alloy, the second intermediate layer is composed of a metal or an alloy having the face-centered cubic lattice structure, and the first intermediate layer is composed of a metal or an alloy having the hexagonal close-packed structure.

Provided are a double-layer perpendicular magnetic recording medium having a high medium S/N at an areal recording density of 50 Gbits or more per square inch, and a magnetic storage apparatus having excellent reliability with a low error rate. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium is formed by sequentially laminating a domain control layer, an amorphous soft magnetic underlayer, an intermediate layer, and a perpendicular recording layer on a substrate. The domain control layer is a triple-layer film formed by laminating a first polycrystalline soft magnetic layer, a disordered antiferromagnetic layer, and a second polycrystalline soft magnetic layer from a substrate side.
摘要:
A magnetic storage device has a magnetic layer, the magnetic crystal grains of which are separated by a nonmagnetic phase. The typical crystal grain is in the approximate shape of a sphere or an ellipsoid. The thickness of the magnetic crystal grains, which is in the direction perpendicular to the surface or the film, is smaller than that of the thickness of the magnetic film. The ratio of the coercive force, which is measured in the circumferential direction, to the coercive force, which is measured in the radial direction, (the orientation ratio of the coercive force), is larger than 1.0, but preferably nor greater than 3.0. Further, the area fraction of the magnetic grains having an extended axis within 30° from the circumferential direction is equal to or more than 45%.
