Coating-type magnetic recording medium for heat-assisted recording, and heat-assisted magnetic recording apparatus and heat-assisted magnetic recording method using the same

摘要

The magnetic recording medium disclosed in the present application includes a non-magnetic support, an undercoat layer, a magnetic layer containing magnetic particles, and a back coat layer. The coercive force Hc of the magnetic layer in the thickness direction at 25° C. is not 4100 oersteds (Oe) or more, and the coercive force Hc of the magnetic layer in the thickness direction at a temperature between 55° C. and 80° C. inclusive is not less than 1200 oersteds (Oe) and not more than 3700 oersteds (Oe).
