Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a magnetic tape comprising a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder and a binding agent on a non-magnetic support, in which the magnetic layer contains an oxide abrasive, an average particle diameter of the oxide abrasive obtained from a secondary ion image acquired by irradiating a surface of the magnetic layer with a focused ion beam is 0.04 μm to 0.08 μm, and an absolute value ΔN of a difference between a refractive index Nxy measured with respect to an in-plane direction of the magnetic layer and a refractive index Nz measured with respect to a thickness direction of the magnetic layer is 0.25 to 0.40, and a magnetic recording and reproducing device including the magnetic tape.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A magnetic tape comprising a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder and a binding agent on a non-magnetic support, wherein the magnetic layer contains an oxide abrasive, an average particle diameter of the oxide abrasive obtained from a secondary ion image acquired by irradiating a surface of the magnetic layer with a focused ion beam is 0.04 μm to 0.08 μm, and an absolute value ΔN of a difference between a refractive index Nxy measured with respect to an in-plane direction of the magnetic layer and a refractive index Nz measured with respect to a thickness direction of the magnetic layer is 0.25 to 0.40. 2 . The magnetic tape according to claim 1 , wherein the oxide abrasive is an alumina powder. 3 . The magnetic tape according to claim 1 , wherein the ferromagnetic powder is a ferromagnetic hexagonal ferrite powder. 4 . The magnetic tape according to claim 1 , wherein the difference Nxy−Nz between the refractive index Nxy and the refractive index Nz is 0.25 to 0.40. 5 . The magnetic tape according to claim 1 , further comprising a non-magnetic layer containing a 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 containing a non-magnetic powder and a binding agent on a surface of the non-magnetic support opposite to a surface provided with the magnetic layer. 7 . A magnetic recording and reproducing device comprising: the magnetic tape according to claim 1 ; and a magnetic head. 8 . The magnetic recording and reproducing device according to claim 7 , wherein the oxide abrasive is an alumina powder. 9 . The magnetic recording and reproducing device according to claim 7 , wherein the ferromagnetic powder is a ferromagnetic hexagonal ferrite powder. 10 . The magnetic recording and reproducing device according to claim 7 , wherein the difference Nxy−Nz between the refractive index Nxy and the refractive index Nz is 0.25 to 0.40. 11 . The magnetic recording and reproducing device according to claim 7 , wherein the magnetic tape further comprises a non-magnetic layer containing a non-magnetic powder and a binding agent between the non-magnetic support and the magnetic layer. 12 . The magnetic recording and reproducing device according to claim 7 , wherein the magnetic tape further comprises a back coating layer containing a non-magnetic powder and a binding agent on a surface of the non-magnetic support opposite to a surface provided with the magnetic layer.
