Abstract: A magnetic recording medium based on the perpendicular magnetic recording system includes a substrate; a back layer which is formed on the substrate and which is formed of a soft magnetic material; an in-plane magnetized layer which is formed on the back layer and which has in-plane magnetization; and a recording layer which is formed on the in-plane magnetized layer and which has perpendicular magnetization, wherein the in-plane magnetized layer has a coercivity in an in-plane direction larger than a magnetic field generated by residual magnetization in a perpendicular direction of the recording layer. The influence on the reproduction output, caused by the mirror image effect of the soft magnetic back layer is reduced in wide range recording densities, thereby improving the resolution by decreasing the difference between the reproduction outputs of the magnetic recording medium at the low recording density and at the high recording density.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium in which the medium noise is reduced and information can be recorded at a high S/N level, and a method for producing the magnetic recording medium are provided. A magnetic recording apparatus, which is excellent in thermal stability and which makes it possible to perform the high density recording, is provided. When films are formed for the magnetic recording medium based on the perpendicular magnetic recording method, the content of B in a seed layer is made sufficiently larger than the content of B in a recording layer. Accordingly, B is diffused from the seed layer to the recording layer to facilitate the segregation of B at the crystal grain boundary in the recording layer. Thereby, the magnetic interaction between the crystal grains in the recording layer is further reduced. Thus, it is possible to greatly reduce the transition noise.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium comprises an information-recording film and a ferromagnetic film on a substrate. The information-recording film is composed of, for example, an amorphous ferrimagnetic material having perpendicular magnetization. Further, the ferromagnetic film is composed of a magnetic material which has saturation magnetization larger than that of the information-recording film. Accordingly, the leak magnetic flux from the ferromagnetic film is larger than that from the information-recording film. The magnetic recording medium and a magnetic recording apparatus are obtained, which are excellent in thermal stability and which are preferred to perform super high density recording.
