PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a producing method of a record medium having excellent storage stability of high density information recording, especially information by magnetic recording. SOLUTION: In the producing method of an information record medium in which information is recorded and reproduced by using a magnetic field or light, at least one base layer essentially comprising elements or compds. selected from Cr, Pt, Pd, Au, Fe, Ni, MgO and NiO is formed while the crystalline plane with (100) Miller index of the crystal lattice is controlled to be parallel to the substrate. Further, an L10 regular alloy layer is formed by sputtering under the conditions satisfying P×D>3000, wherein P is the Ar gas pressure (Pa) and D is the distance (mm) between the target and the substrate. This producing method of the record medium consisting of the regular alloy thin film above described is used for a glass substrate for an industrial hard disk. Thereby, the regularity necessary to develop large crystal magnetic anisotropy is promoted at a low temp. at which the glass substrate can be applied so that the recording storage stability of a record medium is improved.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing a recording medium which has fine magnetic domain structures and realizes high reproduced output and low medium noise by proposing a technique of reducing the magnetic domain size of the information recording layer of a high-density magnetic recording medium, more particularly a two-layered perpendicular magnetic recording medium having an L10 type rule alloy in the information recording layer. SOLUTION: The method of manufacturing the two-layered perpendicular magnetic recording medium having a layer consisting of the L10 type ordered alloy selected from a group A as an information recording layer comprises making the layer which has the same composition as the composition of the L10 type ordered alloy and in which the crystalline structure is an irregular structure (S11) before making the L10 type ordered alloy layer (the information recording layer) by sputtering film formation. The group A includes an FePt ordered alloy, CoPt ordered alloy, FePd ordered alloy, and their alloys. The two-layered perpendicular magnetic recording medium having the fine magnetic domain structures can be made by this manufacturing method.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ferromagnetic laminate structure which is composed of a ferromagnetic thin film with favorable interface characteristics, an insulating thin-film, and a compound semiconductor. SOLUTION: In a magnetic body laminate structure 10, an insulating thin film 2 and a ferromagnetic thin film 3 are sequentially formed on a compound semiconductor 1. The insulating thin-film 2 is formed of a fluorinated compound with a fluorite structure, and the ferromagnetic thin film 3 is a ferromagnetic material formed of Fe or an FeCo alloy. The ferromagnetic laminate structure 10 is used by injecting spin-polarized electrons into the compound semiconductor 1 from the ferromagnetic thin film 3 through the insulating thin film 2. For example, the ferromagnetic laminate structure 10 can be used as an spin LED, and the compound semiconductor 1 can be also used as a light-emitting layer. In this case, since there is few crystal defects of each interface in the structure, thereby, the high injection efficiency of the spin-polarized electron to the light-emitting layer is obtained, and the highly-efficient spin LED can be obtained.
