Abstract:
1. A glass substrate, for a magnetic disk, characterized in that an outer peripheral edge shape formed around a peripheral edge portion of a main surface has, with other flat portion of said main surface being the reference: an outer peripheral edge portion ski jump value of not greater than 0 μm; an outer peripheral edge portion roll-off value of −0.2 to 0.0 μm; and an outer peripheral edge portion dub-off value of 0 to 120 Å; and that wherein the radius of curvature is defined as the radius of a circle passing through points “A”, “B” and “C”, wherein the points “A”, “B” and “C” are determined with respect to an extension line that is drawn from the data surface of the main surface of the glass substrate, a position at which the curve of the R surface is spaced apart from the extension line due to the radius of curvature of the R surface of the glass substrate is called “A point”, and positions spaced apart by 10 μm from the A point are called “B point” and “C point,” respectively, and wherein, the outer peripheral edge portion dub-off value is determined with reference to two points (R 5 and R 6 ) that are spaced apart by 1.6 mm in the inner peripheral edge direction from a position (R 4 ) which is the point of intersection between the main surface and the chamfer surface, and the dub-off value is defined as a displacement maximum absolute value to a curve R 5 -R 6 from a straight line R 5 -R 6 as the reference line that passes the two points; wherein the points R wherein when the outer diameter size of the disk is 1.89 in.: when the outer diameter size of the disk is 2.5 in.: when the outer diameter size of the disk is 3.3 in.:
