Abstract
The improved memory disk of the present invention comprises a substrate coated with chromium with preferably a layer of cobalt/nickel as the magnetic layer sealed with a protective coating of carbon. As a result of circumferential texturing, a circular anisotropic crystal growth has occurred during the sputtering with a circumferential alignment that provides an improved memory disk having a reduced amplitude modulation, an improved squareness of the hysteresis loop, e.g. lower switching field distribution and a high production relatively low cost production system. As a result, a higher recording linear bit density due to the high coercivity and low switching field distribution can be experienced with the magnetic disk of the present invention.
