Abstract

Thin metallic films are the first choice for media in advanced rigid disk systems. For helical scan tape recorders thin metal films have become more important. The high signal-to-noise ratio per unit of track width allows very high densities. The preparation techniques and materials properties of the thin-film coating of metal evaporated (ME) are described. Important aspects are the size of the grains, the geometry of the columnar structure and the associated anisotropy. The consequences for the recording process are explained. Tribological and corrosion properties also help to determine the usefulness of a recording tape. Corrosion, wear, protection layers and lubricating organic films are briefly discussed.
