Abstract
A member is prepared by forming a magnetic surface layer on a magnetic base member having a different composition from the surface layer. A laser beam is radiated onto the member so as to fuse the member and the surface layer, thereby forming a fused portion having magnetic properties. A modified portion is formed in a portion of the fused portion corresponding to the surface layer such that this portion has different permeability from other portions of the surface layer.
Claims4
A magnetic recording member comprising:
- a recording member which consists of a plurality of layers having different compositions and has a modified portion formable region;
- and
- a magnetic modified portion which is formed by radiating a high-energy beam onto said member so as to fuse a least two layers in a portion including the modified portion-formable region, and has higher permeability than a non-fused region of the modified portion-formable region, data being read by detecting magnetism of said modified portion.
A magnetic recording member comprising:
- a recording member which comprises a plurality of layers having different compositions and has a modified portion formable region;
- and
- a magnetic modified portion which is formed by radiating a high-energy beam onto said member so as to fuse at least two layers in a portion including the modified portion-formable region, and has lower permeability than a non-fused region of the modified portion-formable region, data being read by detecting magnetism of said modified portion.
A magnetic recording member comprising:
- recording member formed a single layer having a magnetic modified portion formed in a modified portion formable region;
- and
- said magnetic modified portion having a higher permeability than regions of said single layer outside of said modified portion formable region and formed by irradiating a high energy beam onto a stock member including said single layer and at least one further layer having a composition different than that of said single layer so as to nurse said single layer and said at least one further layer in said modified portion forming region, wherein said at least one further layer is removed after forming said magnetic modified portion to produce said recording member formed of said single layer;
- wherein data is read from said recording member by detecting magnetism of the magnetic modified portion of said single layer.
A magnetic recording member comprising:
- a recording member formed of a single layer having a magnetic modified portion formed in a modified portion formable region;
- and magnetic modified portion formed in a modified portion formable region;
- and
- said magnetic modified portion having a lower permeability than regions of said single layer outside of said modified portion formable region and formed by irradiating a high energy beam onto a stock member including said single layer and at least one further layer having a composition different than that of said single layer so as to fuse said single layer and said at least one further player in said modified portion forming region, wherein said at least one further layer is removed after forming said magnetic modified portion to produce said recording member formed of said single layer;
- wherein data is read from said recording member by detecting magnetism of the magnetic modified portion of said single layer.
