Abstract
A magnetic recording medium having magnetic dots that can achieve high density recording is disclosed. The magnetic recording medium comprises at least an underlayer, a magnetic recording layer, and a protective layer sequentially laminated on a nonmagnetic substrate. The underlayer is composed of ruthenium or an alloy of mainly ruthenium and has an undulating structure formed with ridge lines in a predetermined pitch on the surface of the underlayer. The magnetic recording layer contains at least ferromagnetic crystal grains and a nonmagnetic component. Magnetic dots composed of crystal grains with a grain size not smaller than 4 nm in the magnetic recording layer are aligned on a surface of the underlayer along the ridge line, and each of the magnetic dots s separated by the nonmagnetic component from each other. A simple manufacturing method for this medium also is disclosed.
