Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnetic-disk glass substrate of the present invention includes a pair of main surfaces, a side wall surface, and a chamfered surface between the main surfaces and the side wall surface. Regarding surface properties of at least one of the side wall surface and the chamfered surface of the glass substrate, an arithmetic average roughness (Ra) is 0.015 μm or less, and a bearing factor of a roughness cross-sectional area when a roughness percentage is 60% is 95% or more in a bearing curve of a roughness cross-sectional area.

The magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 1 , wherein regarding the surface properties of at least one of the side wall surface and the chamfered surface, an amount of change in the roughness percentage is 25% or less when the bearing factor of the roughness cross-sectional area increases from 20% to 80% in the bearing curve of the roughness cross-sectional area. 3. The magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 1 , wherein regarding the surface properties of at least one of the side wall surface and the chamfered surface, a maximum height Rz is 0.15 μm or less. 4. The magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the arithmetic average roughness Ra and/or a maximum height Rz, and the bearing curve of the roughness cross-sectional area, are measured in a region having a predetermined size on the side wall surface and/or the chamfered surface. 5. The magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the side wall surface and the chamfered surface is on the outer circumferential side of the glass substrate. 6. The magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 5 , wherein the surface on the outer circumferential side of the glass substrate is the side wall surface. 7. A magnetic disk in which at least a magnetic recording layer is formed on the surface of the magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 1 . 8. A method for manufacturing a magnetic-disk glass substrate, the method comprising: polishing processing in which a polishing liquid containing polishing abrasive particles is used to perform main surface polishing on a doughnut-shaped glass substrate including a pair of main surfaces, a side wall surface, and a chamfered surface between the main surfaces and the side wall surface, regarding surface properties of at least one of the side wall surface and the chamfered surface of the glass substrate, an arithmetic average roughness being 0.015 μm or less, and a bearing factor of a roughness cross-sectional area being 95% or more when a roughness percentage is 60% in a bearing curve of a roughness cross-sectional area. 9.
