Abstract
A magnetic recording medium includes a non-magnetic metal primary layer and a thin ferromagnetic alloy layer which are sequentially formed on a non-magnetic substrate in a laminated manner by sputtering. The thin ferromagnetic alloy layer is composed of not more than 15 at % of chromium, not more than 12 at % of platinum, 0.15 to 5.4 at % of a metal element selected from the group consisting of tantalum, hafnium, tungsten, zirconium and niobium, and the balance cobalt. The magnetic recording medium has a coercive force of higher than 1500 Oe and a squareness ratio of higher than 0.85.
