  • Patent number: 8911828
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing a molded article, which can be perform the continuous processes and effectively impregnate a modifying material such as metal complexes in the thermoplastic resin for short period of time. The above object is achieved by providing the method of producing the thermoplastic resin molded article which includes impregnating the pressurized fluid having a modifying material dissolved therein, in thermoplastic resin; discharging the pressurized fluid from the thermoplastic resin in which the modifying material has been impregnated; and continuously molding the thermoplastic resin, in which the modifying material has been impregnated and from which the pressurized fluid has been discharged, into the form of a film.

  • Patent number: 6893746
    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.

  • Patent number: 6815098
    Abstract: A magnetic recording medium comprises, on a substrate, a soft magnetic layer, a first seed layer, a second seed layer, and a recording layer having an artificial lattice structure. The first seed layer contains oxide of Fe. The second seed layer contains one of Pd and Pt, Si, and N. The magnetic exchange coupling force in the in-plane direction of the recording layer is weakened by the first seed layer and the second seed layer. Accordingly, minute recording magnetic domains can be formed in the recording layer, and the magnetization transition area is distinct as well. Even when information is recorded at a high density, the information can be reproduced with low noise. A magnetic storage apparatus, which is provided with such a magnetic recording medium, makes it possible to achieve an areal recording density of 150 gigabits/square inch.

  • Publication number: 20030157373
    Abstract: A magnetic recording medium of the present invention comprises an MgO layer 2, a first control layer 3, a second control layer 4, a magnetic layer 5, and a protective layer 6 which are provided in this order on a substrate 1. The MgO layer is formed by means of the ECR sputtering method. Accordingly, this layer is crystallized in the hexagonal system, and crystals are successfully oriented in a certain azimuth. Two or more layers of metal control layers are formed on the MgO layer by using materials and compositions so that the difference in lattice constant with respect to the magnetic layer is not more than 5%. Owing to the presence of the control layers, the magnetic layer is epitaxially grown in a well-suited manner while reflecting the structure of the MgO layer, making it possible to realize the orientation of (11.0) of Co which is preferred to perform the high density recording in the magnetic layer.
