A substrate used for magnetic disk comprising s non-magnetic support in which a material for forming pits is formed on the surface, wherein the material for forming the surface pits comprises a low melting metal and has an island structure discontinuous in the direction within the plane at the surface of the non-magnetic support, thereby enabling to produce a magnetic disk of excellent magnetic property at high productivity, as well as a magnetic recording medium using such a substrate.

Substrate used for magnetic disk and magnetic recording medium using the

A magnetic recording medium having a durability improving, carbon protective film formed on a surface of a magnetic recording layer, which is in turn disposed on a substrate, and a lubricant coated on a surface of the carbon film remote from the substrate; wherein a coupling agent layer is disposed between the carbon protective film and the lubricant, so that the force of adhesion of the lubricant to the carbon film is greatly improved, thus producing a magnetic recording medium having excellent lubricity and wear resistance.

Magnetic recording medium having a coupling agent disposed between a

In a magnetic recording medium having a layer of a perfluoroalkylpolyether-based liquid lubricant as an uppermost layer, the liquid lubricant has an atomic group including an aromatic ring at a terminal end of a perfluoropolyether main chain, and is coated on an inorganic oxide. Therefore, adhesion force of the lubricant is greatly improved, and interaction within the lubricant can be decreased, thus realizing a magnetic recording medium having excellent lubricity and wear resistance.
