Abstract

In a magnetic recording medium particularly for perpendicular magnetization comprising a non-magnetic substrate and a magnetic thin film formed on the surface thereof and including at least two layers, a lower layer with low coercive force and high permeability, for example, of permalloy is sputtered on the substrate and an upper layer for perpendicular recording, for example, of cobalt-chromium alloy is sputtered on the lower layer, and the average grain diameter of the lower layer is less than one half of that of the upper layer.
