Abstract

See full text

The present invention pertains to a thin film media structure for low noise high density longitudinal magnetic recording. The thin film media structure is comprised of a substrate. The thin film media structure is also comprised of an underlayer in contact with the substrate. Additionally, the thin film media structure is comprised of a CoSm or a CoSmQ film in contact with the underlayer such that the underlayer is between the substrate and the CoSm or CoSmQ. In a preferred embodiment, the underlayer is made of Cr or W and there is additionally an overlayer in contact with the CoSm or CoSmQ film, an overcoat in contact with the overlayer and an organic lubricant disposed on the overcoat. The present invention also pertains to a low noise high coercivity media structure for longitudinal magnetic recording. The high coercivity media structure is comprised of a substrate. The high coercivity media structure is also comprised of a multi-magnetic layer comprised of at least two layers of an alloy of Co and Sm, or Co and Sm and Q with an intermediate layer therebetween, and an underlayer in contact with the substrate and between the substrate and one of the CoSm layers.
