Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

[Solving Means] A magnetic recording medium according to an embodiment of the present technology is a tape-shaped magnetic recording medium, including: a magnetic layer including a servo band, a servo signal being recorded on the servo band. An index expressed by Sq×Fact.(p−p)/F0(p−p) is 0.42 or more, Sq being a squareness ratio of the magnetic layer in a perpendicular direction, F0(p−p) being a peak-to-peak value of a first magnetic force gradient strength observed by a magnetic force microscope when a servo signal is saturation-recorded on the magnetic layer, Fact.(p−p) being a peak-to-peak value of a second magnetic force gradient strength for the servo signal recorded on the servo band observed by the magnetic force microscope.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A tape-shaped magnetic recording medium, comprising: a magnetic layer including a servo band, a servo signal being recorded on the servo band, wherein an index expressed by Sq×Fact.(p−p)/F0(p−p) is 0.42 or more, Sq being a squareness ratio of the magnetic layer in a perpendicular direction, F0(p−p) being a peak-to-peak value of a first magnetic force gradient strength observed by a magnetic force microscope when a servo signal is saturation-recorded on the magnetic layer, Fact.(p−p) being a peak-to-peak value of a second magnetic force gradient strength for the servo signal recorded on the servo band observed by the magnetic force microscope. 2. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the index is 0.45 or more. 3. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the squareness ratio (Sq) of the magnetic layer in the perpendicular direction is 0.5 or more. 4. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 3 , wherein the squareness ratio (Sq) of the magnetic layer in the perpendicular direction is 0.6 or more. 5. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio (Fact.(p−p)/F0(p−p)) of Fact.(p−p) to F0(p−p) is 0.6 or more. 6. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 5 , wherein the ratio (Fact.(p−p)/F0(p−p)) of Fact.(p−p) to F0(p−p) is 0.7 or more. 7. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein a residual magnetization (Mrt) of the magnetic layer is 0.39 or more. 8. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 7 , wherein the residual magnetization (Mrt) of the magnetic layer is 0.45 or more. 9. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the servo signal is a servo signal recording pattern including a plurality of stripes inclined at a predetermined azimuth angle with respect to a tape width direction. 10. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic layer contains a magnetic powder of hexagonal ferrite, ε-iron oxide, or cobalt ferrite. 11. A servo signal recording device that records a servo signal on a tape-shaped magnetic recording medium including a magnetic layer including a servo band, the device including a servo write head and an auxiliary magnetic pole, comprising: a servo write head that records a servo signal on the servo band; and an auxiliary magnetic pole that is disposed to face the servo write head with the magnetic layer interposed therebetween, and is formed of a soft magnetic material.
