Abstract
A magnetic recording medium is used in a recording/reproduction apparatus having a shortest recording wavelength of not more than 75 nm, the magnetic recording medium including a recording layer that contains a powder of particles containing ε-iron oxide, in which a squareness ratio measured in a traveling direction of the magnetic recording medium is not more than 30%, a ratio (D/D) of an average longest diameter Dof the particles to an average shortest diameter Dof the particles satisfies a relationship of 1.0≤(D/D)≤1.1, an average thickness δof the recording layer is not more than 100 nm, and a ratio (δ/D) of the average thickness δof the recording layer to the average shortest diameter Dof the particles satisfies a relationship of δ/D≤5.
