Abstract
A thin film disk of γ-Fe2 O3 for high density magnetic recording has been developed. γ-Fe2 O3 films were prepared in a serial process from the reactive sputtering of on to α-Fe2 O3 reduced to Fe3 O4 and oxidized to γ-Fe2 O3 . A high coercive force of 700 Oe and a squareness ratio of 0.8 were attained for γ-(Fe0.955 Ti0.025 Co0.02 )2 O3 . Recording characteristics of the disk were evaluated using a Mn-Zn ferrite head. The recording density D50 reached 1,100 bits/mm (27,900 bpi), and the number of dropout errors at 50 % threshold level was less than 50 per surface. Stability versus temperature change and wear resistance were also evaluated.
