The disclosure describes a magnetic recording medium having at least a magnetic layer, optionally by means of an under layer, on a non-magnetic substrate, wherein projections formed by irradiation of an energy beam and each having a height from 1 to 60 nm are provided at the number of 10,to 10,per 1 mm,on the surface of any one of the non-magnetic substrate, the under layer, the magnetic layer and the magnetic recording medium.

Magnetic recording medium, method of producing the same, and recording and reading-out method

The present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium comprising at least a magnetic layer, optionally by means of an under layer and an intermediate layer thereon, on a non-magnetic substrate and, occasionally a protective layer disposed on the magnetic layer, wherein projections each of a shape having a plurality of protrusions per one projection are formed by the number of from 10 to 10.sup.6 per 1 mm.sup.2 by irradiation of energy beam to a surface of at least one of the substrate, the under layer, the intermediate layer, the magnetic layer and the protective layer.

Magnetic recording medium and method of producing the same

The disclosure describes a magnetic recording medium having at least a magnetic layer, optionally by means of an under layer, on a non-magnetic substrate, wherein projections formed by irradiation of an energy beam and each having a height from 1 to 60 nm are provided at the number of 10.sup.2 to 10.sup.8 per 1 mm.sup.2 on the surface of any one of the non-magnetic substrate, the under layer, the magnetic layer and the magnetic recording medium.

Magnetic recording medium, method of producing the same, and recording

A method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium having at least a magnetic layer, optionally by means of an underlayer, on a non-magnetic substrate, and occasionally having a protective layer disposed on the magnetic layer, comprises irradiating to the surface of the non-magnetic substrate, the underlayer, the magnetic layer, the protective layer or the magnetic recording medium, a laser beam from a semiconductor laser module that moves relatively to the non-magnetic substrate, thereby applying a texturing; and a semiconductor laser texturing apparatus comprises a substrate rotating mechanism, a semiconductor laser module including a semiconductor laser beam source, a collimator for converting a semiconductor laser beam into a parallel beam and a light focusing mechanism for irradiating the laser beam to a projection-forming surface of a substrate supported rotatably by the substrate rotating mechanism, and a relative moving mechanism for the substrate supported rotatably by the substrate rotating mechanism and the semiconductor laser module.
