Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium which comprises a non-magnetic substrate, a Cr undercoat layer formed on the substrate, and a quaternary alloy layer formed on the undercoat layer. The alloy layer consists of the following composition by atomic percent 1≦Cr≦18 2≦Ta≦9 73≦Co≦97 1≦Pt≦10 provided that the atomic percent of Cr, Ta and Co is 100 in total and the atomic percent of Pt is based on the total of Cr, Ta and Co.
