Abstract
A perpendicular magnetic recording medium comprises a non-magnetic substrate having one main surface and a magnetic film of Fe-N or Fe-Co-N formed on the substrate's main surface. The magnetic film includes not only ferromagnetic phase, but also .zeta.-Fe.sub.2 N of paramagnetic phase. The magnetic film is characterized by having columnar crystal structure extending in a direction perpendicular to the substrate's main surface and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy by including .zeta.- Fe.sub.2 N.
