せたものである(以下これをMEテープと呼ぶ)。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, with the aim of increasing the density of magnetic recording, research has been actively conducted on magnetic recording media in which a ferromagnetic metal thin film is used as a magnetic recording layer. Such magnetic recording media are generally those in which a ferromagnetic metal thin film (thickness: several 100 Å to 111 m) such as (JO) is directly formed on a non-magnetic substrate such as polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as ME tape). ).

周知のように、磁気記録媒体の改良は出力だけでは不十
分で雑音の改良が不可欠である。ME tape can generate a sufficiently large magnetic flux even if the magnetic recording layer is made thin, and by increasing the coercive force by diagonal deposition or by introducing oxygen during deposition, short wavelength recording and reproduction output can be achieved. It has a large diameter and will occupy an important position in future magnetic recording media [for example, foreign journals, IEICE T

特に光磁気記録に近い高密度記録で画像記録再生を目指
すには、磁化容易軸の方向の如何を問わず磁気記録層の
雑音を改良する必要がある。Problems with trying to determine the source reference group However, with the above configuration, it is difficult to obtain a signal-to-noise (hereinafter referred to as S/N) ratio that is sufficiently high for recording and reproducing signals in a wide band such as image recording. , the noise generated from the magnetic recording layer itself becomes a problem. In particular, in order to achieve image recording and reproduction with high-density recording close to magneto-optical recording, it is necessary to improve the noise of the magnetic recording layer regardless of the direction of the easy axis of magnetization. There is a need.
本発明は上記事情に鑑みなされたもので、磁気記録層自

生信号を得られるようにした磁気記録媒体を提供するも
のである。The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic recording medium in which the noise component of the magnetic recording layer itself is reduced and a reproduced signal with a sufficient S/N ratio can be obtained over a wide band.
問題点を解決するための手段
上記した問題点を解決するため、本発明の磁気記録媒体
は、高分子フィルム上に2層構造の磁気記録層を配し、
薄膜を構成する微粒子サイズが第1層を1とすると、第
2層が1.3から2の範囲にあるよう構成したものであ
る。Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the magnetic recording medium of the present invention has a two-layered magnetic recording layer disposed on a polymer film,
If the size of the particles constituting the thin film is 1 in the first layer, the size of the particles in the second layer is in the range of 1.3 to 2.
作用
上記した構成により本発明の磁気記録媒体は、リング型
磁気ヘッドの形成する磁界により記録される時に、短波
長時は、ヘッドより遠い側は、磁界が弱いため、磁気的
により均一でないと雑音が増えるが、第1磨機粒子が第
2層より小さいため硼気的均−性が良く、第2層の磁気
抵抗は第1層より小さいので、磁束の伝達能率は良く、
従って記録、再生に於て、第1層のS/N寄与分は大幅
に向上する。又、第2層はヘッドに近いので、十分磁界
が強いので、不均一性が少々あっても完全に磁場反転で
き、不均一性に基ずく雑音レベルは実効的に小さくでき
る。Effects Due to the above-described configuration, the magnetic recording medium of the present invention has the advantage that when recording is performed using the magnetic field formed by the ring-shaped magnetic head, when the wavelength is short, the magnetic field is weaker on the side farther from the head, so if it is not magnetically more uniform, noise will occur. However, since the first polishing particles are smaller than the second layer, the magnetic uniformity is good, and the magnetic resistance of the second layer is smaller than the first layer, so the magnetic flux transmission efficiency is good.
Therefore, in recording and reproduction, the S/N contribution of the first layer is greatly improved. Furthermore, since the second layer is close to the head, the magnetic field is sufficiently strong, so even if there is some non-uniformity, the magnetic field can be completely reversed, and the noise level due to non-uniformity can be effectively reduced.
又、全体として、1層の微粒子からなる磁気記録層に比
べて、ヘッドからみて、同一膜厚での磁気的粒子の大き
さが小さくなるので、その効果によるS/N改良も見込
める。以上のべたような作用により本発明の磁気記録媒
体は、良好なS/Nを与えることができるのである。In addition, as a whole, the size of the magnetic particles at the same film thickness is smaller when viewed from the head than in a single layer of magnetic recording layer made up of fine particles, so an S/N improvement can be expected due to this effect. Due to the above-described effects, the magnetic recording medium of the present invention can provide a good S/N ratio.

粒子形状を呈していてもり。Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram of particle size. 6 is a fine particle in the first layer, and the size represented by the value H1D1 has a strong correlation with noise, so different particle shapes are used, such as elliptical, 2 cylindrical, and cylindrical. It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.

化を前提にした時には、粒子サイズは記録波長の殉以下
でないと、ノイズが犬きくなる場合があるので、300
八以下を前提としても差し支えないと考えている。Furthermore, the fact that the second layer has an excellent S/N ratio of 1.3 to 2 times the particle size of the first layer is as follows.
It was confirmed that the particle size of the first layer ranged from 708 to 3oO, but when the particle size of the first layer increased from 3008 to 500, it was 1.5 times to 1.7 times. The range is good. When assuming the practical use of recording wavelengths around 0.3 μm, the noise may become too loud unless the particle size is smaller than the recording wavelength.
I think it is safe to assume that the number is 8 or less.
