An ion implanting apparatus is provided, which can accurately measure a quantity of atoms that are implanted. The ion implanting apparatus according to the present invention has an object to be measured, and the object to be measured is arranged in an irradiating range in which ions are irradiated. When atoms are implanted into an object to be processed by irradiating ions of a processing gas and neutralized particles thereof, the object to be measured is heated through the irradiation with the processing gas ions and the neutralized particles. A control unit determines a quantity of the atoms that are implanted into the object to be processed from the temperature of the object to be measured.

Vertical magnetic recording medium, magnetic recording apparatus and manufacturing method of a vertical magnetic recording medium

A magnetic recording layer is formed on an auxiliary magnetic layer in a perpendicular magnetic recording medium. The auxiliary magnetic layer has the axis of easy magnetization in the vertical direction perpendicular to the surface of a substrate. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium reliably allows establishment of the magnetization in the auxiliary magnetic layer in the vertical direction. When a magnetic flux flows along the vertical direction perpendicular to the surface of the magnetic recording layer, the magnetic flux flows across the magnetic recording layer in the vertical direction. The magnetization is thus reliably established in the magnetic recording layer in the vertical direction. The magnetic field of a stronger intensity is thus leaked out of the magnetic recording layer in the vertical direction.

Method of fabricating a magnetic recording medium

The present invention provides a perpendicular magnetic recording medium that reduces medium noise and achieves thermal stability of recording magnetization. This perpendicular magnetic recording medium has a substrate and a recording layer formed by single-layered magnetic nanoparticles that are aligned at uniform intervals. An auxiliary magnetic film that is thinner than the recording layer is interposed between the substrate and the recording layer. The magnetization of the magnetic nanoparticles is secured by the exchange interaction effect of the auxiliary magnetic film.

A layered polycrystalline structure includes a seed crystal or Cr layer containing non-magnetic Cr atoms. A non-magnetic crystal layer such as a CoCrlayer is formed on the exposed surface of the seed crystal layer. A magnetic crystal layer such as a coPtlayer is formed on the exposed surface of the non-magnetic crystal layer. Heat treatment induces the diffusion of the Cr atoms along the grain boundaries within the magnetic crystal layer. Walls of a non-magnetic material can be established along the grain boundaries in the magnetic crystal layer. The diffusion of the Cr atoms can sufficiently be suppressed within the lattices of the magnetic crystal grains. Generation of an incomplete non-magnetic region can thus be restrained to the utmost within the magnetic crystal layer. Noise can be reduced in reproduction of a magnetic information data.
