MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM, AND MAGNETIC RECORDING AND REPRODUCING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a magnetic recording medium capable of effectively preventing a surface of the magnetic recording medium from being contaminated, and capable of preventing a contaminant present on the magnetic recording medium from adhering (being transferred) to a magnetic head; and a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus including the same.SOLUTION: Only an interface of a protective layer of a magnetic recording medium with a lubricant layer is nitrided, and a compound A expressed by general formula (1) defined by R1-CHOCHCH(OH)CHOCH-R2-CHOCHCH(OH)CHOH and a compound B expressed by general formula (2) defined by CH(OH)CH(OH)CHOCHCFCF(OCFCFCF)OCFCFCHOCHCH(OH)CHOH are mixed and used as a lubricant.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
