Abstract

A magnetic recording medium comprising a substrate and, as a recording layer, a ferromagnetic metal thin layer formed on the substrate by deposition, in which the ferromagnetic metal thin layer contains oxygen atom in such a manner that concentrations of oxygen atom in a surface layer and an interfacial layer adjacent to the substrate are higher than that in an intermediate layer between the surface and interfacial layers, which has improved coercive force and smaller magnetic domain.
