Abstract

The magnetic tape includes a non-magnetic support, and a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder. One or more components selected from the group consisting of a fatty acid and a fatty acid amide are included in a portion on the non-magnetic support on a magnetic layer side, a C—H derived C concentration calculated from a C—H peak surface area ratio of C1s spectra obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy performed on a surface of the magnetic layer at a photoelectron take-off angle of 10 degrees is 50 at % or more, and standard deviation σ of the C—H derived C concentration in a width direction of the surface of the magnetic layer is 2.0 at % or less.

Claims (45)

1. A magnetic tape comprising:

a non-magnetic support;

a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder, and

a non-magnetic layer containing a non-magnetic powder between the non-magnetic support and the magnetic layer,

wherein one or more components selected from the group consisting of a fatty acid and a fatty acid amide are included in a portion on the non-magnetic support on a magnetic layer side,

a C—H derived C concentration calculated from a C—H peak surface area ratio of C1s spectra obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy performed on a surface of the magnetic layer at a photoelectron take-off angle of 10 degrees is 50 at % or more,

standard deviation σ of the C—H derived C concentration in a width direction of the surface of the magnetic layer is 2.0 at % or less,
