Mass of fine particles of inorganic material and method of producing the same, ultrathin film of the inorganic fine particles and method of making the same, magnetic recording medium and method of providing the same method of manufacturing patterns of inorganic material, and method of manufacturing wirings of inorganic material

The present invention concerns a field of dealing with inorganic fine particles (1), and provides a mass of the inorganic fine particles and method of producing the mass, and as applications of the method, an ultrathin film of inorganic fine particles and method of producing the ultrathin film, a magnetic recording medium and method of manufacturing the medium, and a method of manufacturing an inorganic pattern and method of manufacturing a inorganic wiring. Furthermore, the present invention provides the magnetic recording medium by covering the inorganic fine particles with a monomolecular film (2) of a silane type surface active agent through chemical adsorp­tion and permitting the inorganic fine particles and the monomolecular film to have functions.
