Abstract:
@ A magnetic recording medium suitable for use in a single-pole type recording system utilizing a perpendicular magnetization mode, the medium including a nonmagnetic base, a low coercive force layer on the base, and a magnetic recording layer overlying the low coercive force layer. The magnetic recording layer has an easy axis of magnetization perpendicular to the nonmagnetic base. The nonmagnetic bass is composed of a material which is stable at a temperature of 220°C and higher. In accordance with the invention, the low coercive force layer is an iron-nickel alloy containing about 82 to 89.5 by weight nickel, the low coercive force layer resulting from vapor phase deposition of the alloy on the nonmagnetic base while the temperature of the base is at least 220°C.
Abstract:
57 A manufacturing method for a magnetic recording medium is disclosed which comprises the steps of forming a metallic magnetic layer on a non-magnetic substrate such as a polyester film with or without a non-magnetic metal layer deposited thereon by a method of electroless plating or electroplating, forming a vapor-phase plasma-polymerized layer of a silane compound, e.g. 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl disilane and 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexamethyl trisilane, and forming a thin layer of a fluorocarbon resin. The thus manufactured magnetic recording medium has advantages in several properties such as the surface lubricity sufficient to give satisfactory smoothness of travelling, durability in abrasion resistance and weatherability.

A magnetic recording medium having a large coercive force independent of the material of the substrate by employing a alpha -rich layer and a beta -rich layer. The magnetic recording medium, using magnetic inversion, comprises a substrate and a ferromagnetic Co-alloy layer on the surface of the substrate. Between the substrate and the magnetic layer may be interposed a Cr-containing matallic base layer. The base layer and/or the ferromagnetic alloy layer has an oxygen concentration of not more than 100 wt ppm. An alpha -rich layer of nickel, phosphorus, and their oxides, and a beta -rich layer containing an ester group are provided between the substrate and the base layer or the ferromagnetic alloy layer. In the manufacturing process according to the present invention, the alpha -rich layer, beta -rich layer, metal ground layer and ferromagnetic metal layer are formed at pressure below the order of 10 Torr.

A mass-producible magnetic recording medium having a ferromagnetic metal layer comprising CoNiCr or CoCrPt alloy, which has a high S/N ratio of electromagnetic conversion and a stable coercive force. The magnetic recording medium, using magnetic inversion, has a ferromagnetic metal layer comprising CoNiCr or CoCrPt formed on a surface of a substrate with a metallic base layer therebetween. The ferromagnetic metal layer has an oxygen concentration of not more than 100 wt ppm and contains crystal grains with an amorphous grain boundary. In the manufacturing process according to the present invention, the metallic base layer and/or the ferromagnetic metal layer is formed on the substrate at 60 DEG C-150 DEG C.
Abstract:
A vertical magnetic recording medium comprising a magnetic layer having the constitution in which two ferromagnetic metallic thin films made of columnar crystal particles are laminated, wherein the angle Υ between the average growth direction of columnar crystal particles and the substrate normal is equal to or larger than 45° at the lower layer and equal to or smaller than 30° at the upper layer, and the average maximum diameter of the lower-layer columnar crystal particles is larger than that of the upper-layer columnar crystal particles. The apparatus preferable for vapor deposition of the magnetic layer has the constitution shown in the selected figure. Because the magnetic flux of the upper layer escapes to the lower layer, it is prevented that a closed loop of magnetic flux is formed in upper-layer columnar crystal particles. Also because the lower layer is magnetized, it contributes to improvement of reproduction output.

Abstract:
Reproducible texturing of magnetic recording media is enhanced by sputtering a buffer layer (51), such as Ni-P, on a nonmagnetic substrate (50), prior to sputtering a textured bump layer (52). A magnetic recording medium comprising a sputter textured metal layer (54) and high coercivity is achieved by employing an underlayer (53), such as NiAl or FeAl, preferably a composite underlayer containing a chromium or chromium-alloy layer and a NiAl layer the sputter textured layer. Advantageously the buffer layer (51), underlayer (53), textured bump layer (52), magnetic layer (54) and carbon overcoat (55) can be sputter deposited in a single apparatus.
