<p>This invention provides a vertical magnetic recording medium comprising a nonmagnetic substrate, and at least a backing layer, an alignment control layer, a magnetic recording layer, and a protective layer provided on the nonmagnetic substrate. The vertical magnetic recording medium is characterized in that the alignment control layer has a multilayer structure of two or more layers and comprises a seed layer and an intermediate layer as viewed from the substrate side, and the seed layer is formed of a material containing 5 atomic% to 25 atomic% of an element of which the solid solution region for an element having a face-centered cubic structure in a phase diagram is not more than 1 atomic%. There is also provided a magnetic recording/reproducing device comprising the magnetic recording medium and a magnetic head for recording information on the magnetic recording medium and reproducing information from the magnetic recording medium.</p> |
