Magnetic recording medium

Abstract

Provided is a magnetic recording medium having improved electromagnetic characteristics, particularly, in which the C/N ratio in the high-density recording region is markedly improved. The magnetic recording medium comprises a nonmagnetic layer comprising a nonmagnetic powder and a binder and a magnetic layer comprising a ferromagnetic hexagonal ferrite powder and a binder in this order on a support. The number of magnetic aggregates present in the magnetic layer that are equal to or higher than 0.5 μm in size and have a magnetic intensity equal to or greater than 20 times the average value of magnetization turbulence obtained from a magnetic force image measured by a magnetic force microscope is equal to or less than 100/2,000 μm2.
