Abstract

A magnetic recording medium including a substrate and formed on the substrate a maghemite thin film having a surface roughness represented by a center line mean roughness Ra of 0.1 to 1.0 nm, and a coercive force squareness S* value of not less than 0.50. This magnetic recording medium exhibits excellent magnetic properties, especially, coercive force squareness S* value and a more enhanced surface smoothness.
