Problems solved by technology

Moreover, when the gaps between the magnetic particles become non-uniform, the interaction between the magnetic particles cannot be sufficiently reduced
As a result, the medium noise of the recording layer will increase, and a decrease in the S / N ratio will occur

Abstract

A perpendicular magnetic recording medium for enabling high density recording is disclosed. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium includes a substrate on which a soft magnetic underlayer, a seed layer made of a non-crystalline material, an underlayer made of Ru or an Ru alloy including Ru as a main component, and a recording layer including a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer. The first and second magnetic layers include a plurality of magnetic grains having easy magnetization axes in a substantially perpendicular direction with respect to the substrate surface, and first and second nonmagnetic non-soluble phases segregating the magnetic grains of the first and second magnetic layers, respectively. The first magnetic layer includes the first non-soluble phase at a first atomic concentration that is higher than a second atomic concentration of the second non-soluble phase in the second magnetic layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a perpendicular magnetic recording medium, a manufacturing method thereof, and a magnetic storage device. In particular, the invention relates to perpendicular magnetic recording media comprising a recording layer in which magnetic particles are separated by non-magnetic material. Background technique [0002] Magnetic storage devices, such as hard disk drives, are digital signal storage devices suitable for increased capacity, with low storage unit cost (per bit). In recent years and thereafter, for example, as hard disk drives are applied to personal computers and digital image / audio devices, the demand for hard disk drives is still increasing. Also, a further increase in the capacity of the hard disk drive is required. [0003] By achieving higher density recording on magnetic recording media, both increased storage capacity and reduced cost of hard disk drives can be achieved. By realizing higher-densit...
