According to one embodiment, a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus includes a magnetic head and a magnetic recording medium. The magnetic recording medium includes a recording layer formed of a hard magnetic layer and a soft magnetic layer. The hard magnetic layer has a bit width corresponding to a length of a bit island in a radial direction of the magnetic recording medium. The soft magnetic layer is arranged on the hard magnetic layer. The soft magnetic layer has a width smaller than the bit width and is arranged at a position displaced in a direction away from an off-track portion of the leading edge of the magnetic head skewed at an angle.

A magnetic recording medium that includes: a disc-shaped substrate; and plural magnetization retainers arranged on the disc-shaped substrate in plural circulations around a center of the substrate, each of the magnetization retainers having a length in a circumferential direction in such a manner that the length becomes longer as closer to outer circumference at least in a predetermined area, each retaining magnetization individually, each being formed of a magnetic material having axis of easy magnetization of magnetocrystalline anisotropy in a direction perpendicular to front and back surfaces of the substrate, each being filled with an ion that weakens the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the magnetic material such that an amount of ion implantation becomes less as closer to the outer circumference in the predetermined area.

Although dots and servo patterns are made of the same magnetic material, the dots have a relatively low coercive force so as to allow data deletion and rewrite by a magnetic head, whilst the servo patterns have a high coercive force compared with the coercive force of the dots. The coercive force of the servo patterns is strong enough so as to eliminate the influence of shape magnetic anisotropy.

There is provided a magnetic recording medium which contains a substrate in the shape of a disk, and a plural of recording bit formed on the substrate, wherein a bottom face of the recording bit is disposed so as to face the substrate, a top face of the recording bit is disposed so as to correspond to the bottom face of the recording bit, and Twb is larger than Twt, where Twb indicates a width of the bottom face with respect to a radius direction of the magnetic recording medium, and Twt indicates a width of the top face with respect to the radius direction.

A magnetic recording layer is formed on an auxiliary magnetic layer in a perpendicular magnetic recording medium. The auxiliary magnetic layer has the axis of easy magnetization in the vertical direction perpendicular to the surface of a substrate. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium reliably allows establishment of the magnetization in the auxiliary magnetic layer in the vertical direction. When a magnetic flux flows along the vertical direction perpendicular to the surface of the magnetic recording layer, the magnetic flux flows across the magnetic recording layer in the vertical direction. The magnetization is thus reliably established in the magnetic recording layer in the vertical direction. The magnetic field of a stronger intensity is thus leaked out of the magnetic recording layer in the vertical direction.

A perpendicular magnetic recording medium includes a magnetic orientation controller layer serving as a layer for controlling crystalline orientation in an upper layer. A non-magnetic orientation controller layer extends on the surface of the magnetic orientation controller layer The non-magnetic orientation controller layer serves as a layer for controlling crystalline orientation in an upper layer. A magnetic recording layer extends on the surface of the non-magnetic orientation controller layer. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium allows a reliable establishment of a uniform crystalline orientation in the magnetic recording layer based on the influences from the magnetic and non-magnetic orientation controller layers. A reliable establishment of a uniform crystalline orientation can be achieved without an increase in the thickness of the non-magnetic orientation controller layer.
摘要:
A non-magnetic substrate for a magnetic recording medium is formed or molded within a die. The die is designed to define embedment depressions on the surface of the resulting non-magnetic substrate. Any bumps or lugs formed on the inner surface of the die can be employed to form the embedment depressions on the non-magnetic substrate. A magnetic material fills the individual embedment depression so as to establish a magnetic block embedded into the surface of the non-magnetic substrate. The magnetic block can be utilized as a positional mark in a tracking servo control for a corresponding read/write head in a magnetic storage system.

The method of the present invention is capable of highly precisely producing a magnetic head. The method comprises the steps of: forming a pole end part of a magnetic layer, which becomes a magnetic pole and which is formed on a surface of a work piece on which the magnetic head will be formed, into a prescribed shape; coating at least a top part of the magnetic layer with a stopper layer; coating a surface of the work piece, on which the stopper layer has been formed, with an insulating layer, whose polishing rate is higher than that of the stopper layer; polishing the surface of the work piece until the stopper layer, which coats the top part of the magnetic layer, is exposed from the insulating layer; and removing the stopper layer, which has been exposed in a surface of the magnetic layer.
