Embodiment 143~159、 comparative example 21

[0112] In Examples 143 to 159 and Comparative Example 21, the composition of the cap layer was changed, samples were prepared, and the activated particle diameter GD of the cap layer was measured. act , to evaluate the thermal stability of the cap layer. In the samples of Examples 143 to 159 and Comparative Example 21, the perpendicular magnetic recording layer 24 was not provided, and the cap layer 26 with a thickness of 16 nm was provided on the buffer layer 22 . The other points were prepared in the same manner as in Examples 1 to 142. It should be noted that the film formation conditions when the cap layer 26 with a thickness of 16 nm is provided on the buffer layer 22 are set at an argon gas pressure of 4.0 Pa and an input power of 500 W.

[0113] For each sample of Examples 143 to 159 and Comparative Example 21, the activated particle diameter GD was measured using a magneto-optical Kerr effect measuring device (MagnetoOptical Kerr Effect (MOKE)). act .

Abstract

Provided is a perpendicular magnetic recording medium that exhibits improved thermal stability and achieves reduction in switching magnetic field by providing a cap layer having characteristics (characteristics contributing to reducing switching magnetic field of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium as well as to improving thermal stability thereof) superior to existing cap layers. The perpendicular magnetic recording layer (24) has a granular structure which comprises Co-Pt-alloy magnetic crystal grains (24A) and non-magnetic grain boundary oxide (24B). The cap layer (26) has a granular structure which comprises Co-Pt-alloy magnetic crystal grains (26A) and magnetic grain boundary oxide (26B). The CoPt alloy magnetic crystal grains (26A) of the cap layer (26) contain 65 at% or more and 90 at% or less of Co and 10 at% or more and 35 at% or less of Pt. The magnetic grain boundary oxide (26B) is included in a volumetric fraction of 5-40 vol% with respect to the total volume of the cap layer (26).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a perpendicular magnetic recording medium. Specifically, it relates to a perpendicular magnetic recording medium including a perpendicular magnetic recording layer and a cap layer covering the perpendicular magnetic recording layer. It should be noted that, in the present application, a cap layer refers to a layer covering a perpendicular magnetic recording layer in a perpendicular magnetic recording medium, and is a layer that adjusts the degree of intergranular exchange coupling between magnetic crystal grains of the perpendicular magnetic recording layer. Background technique [0002] The perpendicular magnetic recording layer of a conventional perpendicular magnetic recording medium is a granular layer, and a nonmagnetic grain boundary oxide is used to magnetically separate each magnetic crystal grain from an adjacent magnetic crystal grain (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] In this conventional per...
