Abstract
A magnetic recording medium comprising: a non-magnetic substrate; a Co-based alloy magnetic layer (ML); and a non-magnetic Cr-based underlayer position between said magnetic layer and said substrate, compatibly provided with a high S/N and a high coercive force, and an intermediate layer (IL), formed of a Co-based alloy having the hcp structure, which is positioned between the magnetic layer and the non-magnetic underlayer, said intermediate layer having a ratio R=(BsIL*IL)/(BsML*ML), which is the product (BsIL*IL) of the saturation magnetic flux density (BsIL) of the Co-based alloy which constitutes said intermediate layer and the thickness (tIL) of the intermediate layer film to the product (BsML*ML) of the saturation magnetic flux density (BsML) of the Co-based alloy which constitutes said magnetic layer and the magnetic layer film thickness (tML) at 0.2 or less.
