Abstract

A magnetic recording medium is provided with an exchange layer structure, and a magnetic layer provided on the exchange layer structure. The exchange layer structure includes a ferromagnetic layer and a nonmagnetic coupling layer provided on the ferromagnetic layer, where the ferromagnetic layer and the magnetic layer are exchange-coupled and having mutually antiparallel magnetizations. The ferromagnetic layer and the magnetic layer satisfy a relationship Hc1′≧Hc2′, where Hc1′ denotes a dynamic coercivity of the ferromagnetic layer and Hc2′ denotes a dynamic coercivity of the magnetic layer.
