Magnetic recording medium and method of producing the same

摘要

In a magnetic recording medium (10) including a glass substrate (1) which has a principal surface and which includes a compressive stress layer (1aa) as a surface layer having the principal surface, and a magnetic layer (4) formed on the principal surface of the glass substrate, compressive stress produced on the principal surface of the glass substrate is equal to 3 kg/mm<2 >or more. The glass substrate has the principal surface provided with a texture (100) for inducing magnetic anisotropy in the magnetic layer. A distance from the principal surface of the glass substrate to the magnetic layer is equal to 1200 angstroms or less.
