Magnetic recording medium having an improved magnetic characteristic

摘要

A magnetic recording medium comprises a non-magnetic substrate having a principal surface, an intermediate layer formed on the principal surface, and a magnetic layer formed on the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer comprises an intermediate material composed of chromium and molybdenum. The magnetic layer comprises a magnetic material composed of cobalt and platinum. The intermediate layer may comprise first and second layers. The first layer comprises a first material composed of chromium and is formed on the principal surface. The second layer comprises a second material composed of chromium and molybdenum and is formed on the first layer.
