Abstract
The present invention is a magnetic recording medium comprising a substrate and a magnetic layer, wherein said magnetic layer is coated on said substrate, said magnetic layer is an Fe--N--O magnetic layer, each of Fe content F.sub.1, N content N.sub.1 and O content O.sub.1 contained in said Fe--N--O magnetic layer satisfies respective requirements F.sub.1 =50-80 at. %, N.sub.1 =9-25 at. %, O.sub.1 =11-36 at. % and N.sub.1 <O.sub.1, and said magnetic layer exhibits a coercive force Hc in a horizontal direction ranging from 1200 to 2400 Oe. This magnetic recording medium exhibits excelleny C/N.
