Abstract

A magnetic recording medium is formed by depositing a Cr-containing sub-underlayer (52A) on a surface oxidized seed layer, such as NiP (51A) with direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering, depositing an NiAl or FeAl underlayer (53A) on the sub-underlayer, and depositing a Cr-containing intermediate layer (54A) on the NiAl or FeAl underlayer. The medium features high coercivity, low noise, and (200)-dominant underlayer crystallographic orientation, even with sub-underlayer deposition at temperatures as low as about 25 ‹C. The medium is suitable for high density longitudinal magnetic recording.
