Abstract: An alumina nanohole array and a method of fabricating the same includes the steps of forming an aluminum thin-film on a substrate at a substrate temperature of −80° C. or below so that crystal grain growth is suppressed, even when a high-purity aluminum material is used, thus providing improved surface smoothness; and anodizing the aluminum thin-film. Preferably, the method additionally includes texturing by pressing a mold having an orderly array of projections against the aluminum thin-film to form pits on the aluminum thin-film which enables a larger array area to be formed. When the mold and the aluminum thin-film are held at a temperature of 150 to 200° C., the pressure used for pit formation is reduced. A magnetic recording medium manufactured by a method therefore includes forming a magnetic layer within the nanoholes so that the medium is suitable as a bit patterned media for a perpendicular recording system.

Abstract: A method of manufacture of a glass substrate for a magnetic recording medium, which has both high substrate strength and low alkaline elution, includes an etching process of etching the inner-edge face of a donut-shaped glass substrate having an aluminosilicate composition, formed by removing the center portion of a die-molded disc-shaped glass substrate, and an alkali sealing process of performing alkali sealing treatment by proton substitution of alkali ions in the surface layer of the etched donut-shaped glass substrate. The process is used to manufacture a magnetic recording medium incorporating a glass substrate having a total alkaline elution amount of less than 3.1 μg/disk, wherein the magnetic recording medium has a transverse rupture strength greater than 132 N.

Abstract: Information recording medium glass substrate which is a molded article composed of an alkali metal-containing glass material having a composition including at least B, Al, alkali metals, Zn, and Si, and satisfying certain relational equations in molar proportions in terms of oxides thereof, has a low molding temperature, excellent durability, and a reduced number of surface defects. An information recording medium having such a glass substrate and a magnetic layer formed thereon has excellent low-temperature workability and excellent weathering resistance. The glass substrate is suitable for perpendicular magnetic recording because the glass composition suppresses alkali elution from the glass substrate and the glass substrate has substantially no surface-attached foreign matter having a height of about 10 nm or less and having SiO2 as a main component thereof.
