Abstract

A perpendicular magnetic recording medium is provided by using a ferromagnetic polycrystalline thin film having main components of cobalt and chromium in which the coercivity is 1500 oersted or more and the fluctuation field of magnetic viscosity is 30 oersted or more; the film thickness is controlled within a range from 30 nm to 100 nm. A perpendicular magnetic recording medium with low noise and high output which is suited for high density recording can be obtained and a large capacity magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus can be provided by using this medium.
