A structured material composed by including a noble metal, comprising an oriented layer formed on a layer containing a Group 4A metal.
A magnetic recording medium characterized in including, on a substrate and in order from the substrate side, a MgO (001) layer, a layer containing a Group4A metal, an oriented layer, and a recording layer.
A magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a magnetic head capable of a conducting magnetic recording on a magnetic recording medium comprising, on a substrate and in order from the substrate side, a MgO (001) layer, a layer containing a Group 4A metal, an oriented layer, and a recording layer;
- and
- a magnetic head driving section for driving said magnetic head.
A method for producing a structured material comprising:
- a first step of preparing a member having a MgO (001) layer;
- a second step of forming a layer containing a Group 4A metal on said MgO (001) layer;
- and
- a third step of forming an oriented layer composed by containing a noble metal on said layer containing the Group 4A metal.
