ABSTRACT:
An inplane magnetic recording medium having high S/N and thermal stability and a reliable magnetic storage device having surface recording density of 50 megabit/mm2or more is described. The magnetic recording medium includes magnetic layers formed on a nonmagnetic substrate with a plurality of ground layers therebetween, at least one of the ground layers formed from an alloy of a body-centered cubic structure containing Cr as a main component and B of from 2 atomic % to 12 atomic %. Main components of the magnetic layers include a lower magnetic layer containing Co and Cr of from 10 atomic % to 16 atomic %, with film thickness of from 1.5 nm to 4.5 nm, and an upper magnetic layer containing Co, coupling anti-ferromagnetically with the lower magnetic layer through nonmagnetic intermediate layers.
