The invention belongs to the technical field of magnetic
recording media, and particularly relates to a magnetic recording medium with an oxidized
seed crystal layer, which solves the problems of insufficient
thermal stability and insufficient response characteristic in the prior art, and comprises oxidized
nickel phosphorus NiP or oxidized
nickel aluminum
NiAl, the oxidized NiP contains at least one
doping element X of which the oxidation potential is higher than that of the NiP, through dense component design and an innovative
oxidation process, an oxidized NiP-Al
seed crystal layer medium
system with excellent
crystal orientation and
thermal stability is constructed, and the performance of the magnetic recording medium is remarkably improved. According to the
system, a NiP-Al
alloy seed crystal layer is prepared by adopting a magnetron co-
sputtering technology, and a gradient oxidation structure is formed through a two-stage heat treatment process, so that abnormal growth of
nickel-
phosphorus grains is effectively inhibited, and the grain size is stabilized below 12nm. By matching with an optimized
layered structure, a high
signal-to-
noise ratio SNRgt is shown; and the coercive force attenuation rate is only 4.2% in 1000 hours in an environment of 85 DEG C / 85% RH (Ruhrstahl Heraeus).
