Signals and nonlinearities in thin metal‐particle tape

A new type of metal‐particle tape, whose thickness is thinner and whose particles are better oriented than traditional thick particulate media, is simulated and analyzed. Signals at high densities are much larger in the thin tape than in the traditional tape. Nonlinearities at high densities are dominated by transition width increases. Signals and nonlinearities in even thinner media are studied versus record gap length to investigate proper system parameters.
