Abstract
By using a magnetic recording medium in which the value of Hk/4&pgr;Ms calculated from the anisotropic magnetic field Hk and the saturation magnetization Ms falls within a range of more than 2 and less than 5, the resistance to the thermal decay can be improved and a magnetic recording can be achieved with a high recording resolution and a good medium S/N without increasing the head magnetic field.
