Abstract: A thermal recording medium including a base layer containing a resin having a functional group which chemically bonds with a metal having a low melting point, such as Sn-Pb alloy, and a thermal recording layer made of a thin film with low resistivity of a low melting point metal formed on said base layer such that when a part of the thermal recording layer is heated, the heated part melts and perforates to record information.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium comprising a substrate, a ferromagnetic thin film formed on the substrate, and a protective film formed directly on the ferromagnetic thin 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.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium with improved output characteristics and durability is provided by using magnetic powder comprising iron-containing particles each of which carries a compound containing aluminum and/or a compound containing silicon in such amounts that, in the whole magnetic powder, a weight ratio of silicon to iron is from 0.010:1 to 0.150:1, a weight ratio of aluminum to iron is from 0.040:1 to 0.150:1, and a weight ratio of aluminum to silicon is from 1:1 to 15:1.

Abstract: A perpendicular magnetic recording medium according to this invention comprises an electrically conductive underlayer formed on a non-magnetic substrate, in the case where no high permeability magnetic film is deposited, and a magnetic thin film having a perpendicular magnetic anisotrophy is formed thereon. In the case of a so-called double-layer structure including a high permeablilty magnetic film, on the non-magnetic substrate are formed the high permeablilty magnetic film, an intermediate film, and a magnetic thin film one on another in this order. The nearest neighbor's distance of atoms of the underlayer and the intermediate film is not smaller than 0.25 nm (2.5 .ANG.) and not greater than 0.32 nm (3.2 .ANG.) and they are made of at least one selected from the group consisting of V, Ru, Zn, Os, Rh, Ir, Mo, W, Re, Pd, Pt, Nb, Ta, Sn, Al, Au, Ag, Ti, nitrides and oxides of these elements.

Abstract: A method of producing ferromagnetic metal powder comprises the steps of dipping an iron compound powder in a solution in which an aluminum compound and/or a titanium compound is dissolved, removing solvent from the iron compound powder, reducing the iron compound powder in a reducing atmosphere at an elevated temperature and forming oxide layers on whole surfaces of the individual particles of the iron powder. Ferromagnetic iron powder produced according to this method has both a high coercive force and a high remanence ratio.
