Abstract
Disclosed are magneto-optical recording media including at least a reflection layer, a recording layer and a dielectric layer laminated on a substrate in this order, wherein the thickness of the dielectric layer is not less than 140 nm or wherein the dielectric layer is provided by the lamination of upper dielectric layer and lower dielectric layer in which the thermal conductivity of the upper dielectric layer is higher than that of the lower dielectric layer. By arranging the thickness of the dielectric layer in a specific range, the surface roughness of a media in not more than 1.5 nm, and providing a reflection layer composed of a noble metal alloy, achieved is a magneto-optical recording medium able to record constantly in near-field magneto-optical recording, suitable for narrow track pitch, and having excellent SNR, resolution, and recording sensitivity.
