Abstract

A magnetic-disk glass substrate of the present invention has a pair of main surfaces, and an arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) for wavelength components of 10 to 50 nm of the surface of the main surfaces is 0.15 nm or less.

Claims (25)

1. A magnetic-disk glass substrate for use as a magnetic disk, the magnetic-disk glass substrate comprising:

a pair of main surfaces,

an arithmetic mean roughness for wavelength components of 10 to 50 nm of a surface of the main surfaces being 0.15 nm or less when an area of 1 μm square is divided into sections of 512 by 512 and each section is measured using an atomic force microscope,

there is no texture in a circumferential direction on the main surfaces, and

the magnetic disk having a linear recording density of at least 2000 kbpi.

2. A magnetic disk in which at least a magnetic recording layer is formed on a surface of the magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 1 .

3. The magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 1 , wherein

in addition to the arithmetic mean roughness for wavelength components of 10 to 50 nm of the surface of the main surfaces being 0.15 nm or less, the arithmetic mean roughness of the surface of the main surfaces is 0.15 nm or less when a wavelength band is not specified.

4. A magnetic disk in which at least a magnetic recording layer is formed on a surface of the magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 3 .

a pair of main surfaces,

an arithmetic mean roughness for wavelength components of 10 to 30 nm of a surface of the main surfaces being 0.12 nm or less when an area of 1 μm square is divided into sections of 512 by 512 and each section is measured using an atomic force microscope,

there is no texture in a circumferential direction on the main surfaces, and

the magnetic disk having a linear recording density of at least 2000 kbpi.

6. A magnetic disk in which at least a magnetic recording layer is formed on a surface of the magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 5 .

7. The magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 5 , wherein

in addition to the arithmetic mean roughness for wavelength components of 10 to 30 nm of the surface of the main surfaces being 0.12 nm or less, the arithmetic mean roughness of the surface of the main surfaces is 0.15 nm or less when a wavelength band is not specified.
