Abstract

A recording medium comprising a magnetic recording layer having an axis of magnetic anisotropy substantially perpendicular to the surface thereof, a soft magnetic underlayer disposed under the magnetic recording layer and physically coupled to the magnetic recording layer through one or more intermediate layers magnetically decoupling the soft magnetic underlayer from the magnetic recording layer, and an orientation initialization layer disposed between the magnetic recording layer and the soft magnetic underlayer.
