Abstract

A perpendicular magnetic recording medium is disclosed that enables a high track density while maintaining good OW characteristics, SNR, and thermal stability. The medium includes a magnetic recording layer on a non-magnetic base, wherein the magnetic recording layer includes a first magnetic layer, a first exchange coupling control layer, a second magnetic layer, a third magnetic layer, and a fourth magnetic layer, in that order. It is preferable that when the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy constants of the first magnetic layer, second magnetic layer, third magnetic layer, and fourth magnetic layer are Ku, Ku, Ku, and Kurespectively, relationships of Ku>Ku>Kuand Ku>Ku>Kuare satisfied.
