Abstract
A magnetic recording medium comprising a substrate and a magnetic layer, wherein the magnetic layer is an Fe--N--O magnetic layer, and a distribution of N density in a depth direction of said Fe--N--O magnetic layer has a maximum value N1 in an intermediate layer section of said Fe--N--O magnetic layer, and the maximum value N1 ranges from 20 to 50 at. %, and an area where a density value is equal to or more than half of said maximum value N1 ranges from 100 to 500 .ANG. in a depth direction of said Fe--N--O magnetic layer. The magnetic recording medium has an excellent C/N.
