Abstract
Abstract A vertical magnetic recording medium is formed of multiple layers, each layer comprising a cobalt-platinum (CoPt) magnetic film formed on a hexagonal-close-packed (HCP) necleating film. The thickness of each CoPt film in each layer is sufficiently thin to assure that the film has perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The magnetic properties of the multilayered magnetic film structure can be varied by varying the thickness of the individual films and the number of layers.
