Abstract
A magnetic recording medium for longitudinal recording uses a non-magnetic substrate made of glass ceramics that is suitable for high density recording with low noise. The magnetic recording medium is obtained by forming a magnetic recording film mainly containing cobalt on a non-magnetic glass substrate through a non-magnetic underlaying film made of Cr. Further a non-magnetic covering film is formed thereon. With respect to the crystal orientation of the faces of cobalt measured by X-ray diffraction, the diffraction intensity of the (0002) face is 1.5 times or more and 8 times or less the total diffraction intensities of the other faces.
