The present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium for perpendicular magnetization recording, which has excellent wear resistance and magnetic properties, and has magnetic anisotropy perpendicular to the film surface. Conventionally, magnetic disks, floppy disks, audio magnetic tapes, VTR magnetic tapes, magnetic photographic disks, and magnetic tapes for computers have been manufactured using substrates such as plastic films, metal sheets, metal disks, and glass disks. It is well known that magnetic recording media are manufactured by forming a thin film of metallic or non-metallic magnetic recording media on the surface using surface treatment techniques such as sputtering, vacuum evaporation, and chemical plating. . In recent years, perpendicular magnetization recording has attracted attention as a high-density magnetic recording method, and barium ferrite (BaO.
6Fe 2 O 3 ) has been proposed. However, this barium ferrite magnetic recording medium for perpendicular magnetization recording (a) uses barium ferrite as a target, and from the viewpoint of magnetic properties, it coarsens the crystal grains and creates a crystal orientation perpendicular to the substrate surface. For the purpose of making perpendicular magnetization recording possible, a method of sputtering in Ar or oxygen-containing Ar atmosphere while heating the substrate temperature to 450 to 650°C; (b) also targeting barium ferrite; Sputtering is performed with the substrate temperature at room temperature, and the resulting thin film is attached to the substrate.
A method of measuring crystal grain coarsening and vertical crystal alignment in the thin film by heating to a predetermined temperature within the range of 450 to 650°C. Currently, the substrate is limited to metal or glass sheets or disks that can sufficiently withstand heating temperatures of 450 to 650°C. Therefore, from the above-mentioned viewpoint, the present inventors have developed a magnetic recording medium for perpendicular magnetization recording that can be formed on substrates such as plastic, as well as metal and glass, without being affected by the material of the substrate. As a result of conducting research to develop the
Contains 20.0% and the rest is magnetite (hereinafter referred to as
A target having a composition (denoted as Fe 3 O 4 ) and unavoidable impurities (the above weight %, below % shows weight %) is used, and Ar or oxygen-containing Ar is added to this target.
When sputtering is performed in an atmosphere, a thin film having substantially the same composition as the target is formed on the surface of the substrate at normal temperature (room temperature), and the resulting thin film is sputtered with respect to the film surface in an air atmosphere. When heat treatment is performed in a magnetic field while applying a perpendicular magnetic field (preferably 800 to 5000 Gauss) to a temperature of at least 150°C (the upper limit of heating temperature in this case is approximately 300°C for plastic substrates). , found that the thin film becomes a magnetic recording medium with magnetic anisotropy perpendicular to the film surface that enables perpendicular magnetization recording, and that this magnetic recording medium also has excellent wear resistance and magnetic properties. It is. This invention was made based on the above knowledge, and it is based on the above-mentioned knowledge that
Temperature of at least 150℃, preferably 150-300℃
Co: Contains 0.5-17.0%, and
It is characterized in that it contains 0.5 to 20.0% Ni, with the remainder consisting of Fe 3 O 4 and unavoidable impurities. Next, the reason for limiting the component composition as described above in the magnetic recording medium of the present invention will be explained. (a) Co The Co component has the effect of imparting magnetic anisotropy perpendicular to the film surface to the thin film formed by sputtering by heat treatment in a magnetic field at low temperatures, but its content is 0.5%. If the content is less than 17.0%, the desired perpendicular magnetic anisotropy cannot be secured, while if the content exceeds 17.0%, the magnetic anisotropy becomes unstable and fluctuates, especially under the influence of temperature. Therefore, its content was set at 0.5% to 17.0%. (b) Ni The Ni component has the effect of preventing the deterioration of magnetic anisotropy caused by the Co component over time, but
If the content is less than 0.5%, the desired effect cannot be obtained, while if the content exceeds 20.0%, the magnetic anisotropy will deteriorate.
Its content was set at 0.5-20.0%. The magnetic recording medium of the present invention has excellent wear resistance and excellent magnetic properties (particularly saturation magnetization and squareness ratio) due to Fe 3 O 4 . Next, the magnetic recording medium of the present invention will be specifically explained using examples. Example As raw material powders, Fe 3 O 4 powder with a particle size of -325mesh, CoO powder with a particle size of -325mesh, and -
Prepare 300mesh NiO powder, blend these raw material powders into an appropriate composition, wet mix in a ball mill for 6 hours, dry, and then press 50mm□× at a pressure of 1ton/cm 2
Formed into a compacted powder with dimensions of 5 mm, then heated to a temperature within the range of 1080 to 1100°C in an atmosphere of steam.
By sintering under conditions of holding for 160 minutes, targets having the compositions shown in Table 1 were produced, and these targets were subsequently used to prepare substrates with dimensions of 50 mm x 5 μm. Polyethylene terephthalate sheet, substrate temperature: room temperature, atmosphere: Ar gas, atmospheric pressure: 2×10 -2 torr, sputtering distance: 50mm, sputtering speed: 500Å/min, magnetron sputtering was performed under the following conditions.
A thin film with a thickness of 4000 Å was formed on the surface of the above substrate, and then held in an air atmosphere heated to 230°C for 1 hour while applying a magnetic field perpendicular to the film surface of 1000 Gauss, and then heated in a furnace. By performing heat treatment in a cold magnetic field, magnetic recording media 1 to 15 of the present invention having substantially the same composition as the above target are produced.
were formed respectively. Next, a disk-shaped sample with a diameter of 7 mmφ was punched out from each of the magnetic recording media 1 to 15 of the present invention.
