MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the level lowering characteristics of recording and reproducing signals in a magnetic recording medium. SOLUTION: The surface of the magnetic layer 3 of the magnetic recording medium is measured with an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analyzer and the area ratio O/C of an O1s (oxygen) peak to a C1s (carbon) peak obtained by the measurement is adjusted to <2.0.
