COATING TYPE MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM, MAGNETIC RECORDING APPARATUS, AND MAGNETIC RECORDING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coating type magnetic recording medium for heat-assisted recording, which allows high capacity and high-density recording.SOLUTION: The coating type magnetic recording medium for heat-assisted recording comprises: a magnetic layer including ferromagnetic powder and a binder on a non-magnetic organic support medium; a heat diffusion layer having thermal conductivity higher than that of the magnetic layer between the non-magnetic organic support medium and the magnetic layer; and a non-magnetic layer containing non-magnetic powder and a binder between the non-magnetic organic support medium and the heat diffusion layer. The heat diffusion layer contains metal particles and the binder.
