Abstract

A magnetic recording disk comprising a rigid substrate and a magnetic layer of the continuous thin film type is durable and exhibits good electromagnetic properties when the magnetic layer predominantly composed of .gamma.-Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 has specific peak area ratios in an X-ray diffraction chart thereof. Inclusion of .alpha.-Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 in the magnetic layer is also effective. Reliable recording/reproduction can be conducted on the magnetic recording disk using a flying magnetic head.
