Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnetic recording medium of the present invention is a magnetic recording medium including a non-magnetic substrate; a non-magnetic layer that is formed on one of principal surfaces of the non-magnetic substrate and contains a non-magnetic powder, a binder, and a lubricant; and a magnetic layer that is formed on a principal surface of the non-magnetic layer opposite to the non-magnetic substrate and contains a magnetic powder and a binder. The magnetic powder has an average particle size between 10 nm and 35 nm inclusive. The lubricant is migratable to the magnetic layer and forms a lubricant layer on a surface of the magnetic layer when a pressure is applied to the magnetic layer. When spacing of the surface of the magnetic layer before and after washing the lubricant with n-hexane is measured with a TSA (Tape Spacing Analyzer), the value of the spacing after washing is 3 to 10 nm, and the value of the spacing before washing is 1 to 5 nm smaller than the value of the spacing after washing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic substrate; a non-magnetic layer that is formed on one of principal surfaces of the non-magnetic substrate and contains a non-magnetic powder, a binder, and a lubricant; and a magnetic layer that is formed on a principal surface of the non-magnetic layer opposite to the non-magnetic substrate and contains a magnetic powder and a binder, wherein the magnetic powder is either a platy hexagonal ferrite magnetic powder or a spherical iron nitride magnetic powder, the magnetic layer has a thickness of 10 to 150 nm, the magnetic layer has a surface roughness of 1 nm or more and less than 2 nm, and when spacing of the surface of the magnetic layer before and after washing the magnetic recording medium with n-hexane is measured with a TSA (Tape Spacing Analyzer) while pressurizing the surface of the magnetic recording medium under a pressing pressure of 0.5 atm, the value of the spacing before washing is 1 to 5 nm smaller than the value of the spacing after washing, and the value of the spacing after washing is between 5 nm and 10 nm. 2. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic powder has an average particle size between 15 nm and 35 nm.
