Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The magnetic tape includes a non-magnetic support; and a magnetic layer including ferromagnetic powder and a binding agent on the non-magnetic support, in which a center line average surface roughness Ra measured regarding the surface of the magnetic layer is equal to or smaller than 1.8 nm, a logarithmic decrement acquired by a pendulum viscoelasticity test performed regarding the surface of the magnetic layer is equal to or smaller than 0.050, the ferromagnetic powder is ferromagnetic hexagonal ferrite powder, the magnetic layer includes an abrasive, and a tilt cos θ of the ferromagnetic hexagonal ferrite powder with respect to a surface of the magnetic layer acquired by cross section observation performed by using a scanning transmission electron microscope is 0.85 to 1.00.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A magnetic tape comprising: a non-magnetic support; and a magnetic layer including ferromagnetic powder and a binding agent on the non-magnetic support, wherein a center line average surface roughness Ra measured regarding the surface of the magnetic layer is equal to or smaller than 1.8 nm, a logarithmic decrement acquired by a pendulum viscoelasticity test performed regarding the surface of the magnetic layer is equal to or smaller than 0.050, the ferromagnetic powder is ferromagnetic hexagonal ferrite powder, the magnetic layer includes an abrasive, and a tilt cos θ of the ferromagnetic hexagonal ferrite powder with respect to a surface of the magnetic layer acquired by cross section observation performed by using a scanning transmission electron microscope is 0.85 to 1.00. 2 . The magnetic tape according to claim 1 , wherein the logarithmic decrement is 0.010 to 0.050. 3 . The magnetic tape according to claim 1 , wherein the center line average surface roughness Ra is 1.2 nm to 1.8 nm. 4 . The magnetic tape according to claim 2 , wherein the center line average surface roughness Ra is 1.2 nm to 1.8 nm. 5 . The magnetic tape according to claim 1 , further comprising: a non-magnetic layer including non-magnetic powder and a binding agent between the non-magnetic support and the magnetic layer. 6 . The magnetic tape according to claim 1 , further comprising: a back coating layer including non-magnetic powder and a binding agent on a surface side of the non-magnetic support opposite to the surface side provided with the magnetic layer.
