Abstract

An information recording layer consisting of a composite of an ordered alloy of L1 crystal structure selected from a group A, and MgO is used for a perpendicular magnetic recording medium. The group A includes an FePt ordered alloy, a CoPt ordered alloy, an FePd ordered alloy and an alloy thereof. This information recording layer has a very small magnetic domain structure and allows high density recording as seen from a signal output spectrum showing a result of a recording and reproducing evaluation of a magnetic recording medium in one example. The information recording layer can be formed at lower film formation temperature than a temperature of a composite thin film of an ordered alloy of L1 crystal structure according to a conventional technique.
