Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnetic-disk substrate has an average value of squares of inclinations that is 0.0025 or less, and a frequency at which squares of inclinations are 0.004 or more is 15% or less, in a case where samples of inclinations on a main surface are obtained at intervals of 10 nm. The main surface is configured to receive at least a magnetic recording layer thereon. The magnetic-disk substrate includes an outer circumferential end portion and an inner circumferential end portion, and the outer circumferential end portion and the inner circumferential end portion have chamfered portions.
