Abstract
The Surface Magnetic Pigment Concentration (SPVC) is measured by XPS analysis to a depth of 50A° and compared to the calculated bulk Pigment Volume Concentration (PVC) of particulate magnetic tape. To obtain the required resolution, a modified Van Cittert Algorithm is used to deconvolute the initial X-ray photoelectron spectra. The SPVC is obtained from the intensity of the O1S ratio of the metal oxide to polymer oxygen, as well as from the ratio of intensity of the metal core electron peak to the polymeric C1S peak. The two magnetic pigments studied are acicular ferro magnetic CrO2 and acicular ferri magnetic ΓFe2 O3 in a polyester-urethane binder. All particulate tape surfaces analyzed were calendered.
