Patterned magnetic recording medium having reduced magnetic interaction between neighboring magnetic recording layers

摘要

A patterned magnetic recording medium including a plurality of magnetic recording domains arranged at predetermined regular intervals on a substrate, wherein the magnetic recording domains are multi-layered and comprise a soft magnetic layer interposed between a first ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer. The soft magnetic layer suppresses magnetic interaction between a respective one of the magnetic recording domains and neighboring ones of the magnetic recording domains.
