Abstract
A perpendicular magnetic recording medium includes a non-magnetic substrate; and a magnetic recording layer that includes magnetic crystal grains and a non-magnetic crystal grain boundary that surrounds the magnetic crystal grains, wherein the magnetic crystal grains contain an ordered alloy and the non-magnetic crystal grain boundary contains Ge oxides. The magnetic recording layer may have a granular structure. The magnetic crystal grains may be micronized to be sufficiently ordered and separated, and the perpendicular magnetic recording medium may have a high magnetic anisotropy constant Ku and high coercivity Hc.
