Magnetic recording system including magnetic recording medium having three-dimensional random orientation of axis of easy magnetization

摘要

A magnetic recording system includes a magnetic recording medium including a magnetic layer, the magnetic layer being composed of magnetic grains, and a magnetic head including a recording unit and a reproducing unit. An orientation of an axis of easy magnetization of the magnetic grains is three-dimensionally distributed. An average angle between a direction of an axis of easy magnetization of each of the magnetic grains and a surface of the magnetic recording medium is within a range of 20° to 30°. A squareness ratio Mr/Ms of a remanent magnetization Mr of the magnetic recording medium to a saturation magnetization Ms of the magnetic recording medium is equal to 0.5 or more and is equal to 0.6 or less. A recording density of information which is recorded onto the magnetic recording medium is equal to 360 kfci or more.
