Abstract

Segregants for magnetic recording layers and materials for intermediate layers underlying the magnetic recording layers are provided for improved heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) media. One such HAMR medium includes a substrate, a heat sink layer on the substrate, an underlayer on the heat sink layer, an intermediate layer of TiON, VON, CrON, TiOC, VOC, TiONC, and/or combinations thereof, on the underlayer, and a magnetic recording layer of FePt on the intermediate layer. The magnetic recording layer further includes three sublayers, each having a different segregant. The segregant of the first magnetic recording sublayer on the intermediate layer includes AgBN, AgCN, AgBNC, AgB2O3, AgMoO3, AgV2O5, B2O3, MoO3, V2O5, and/or combinations thereof.
