摘要
The nucleation and growth of microcracks of magnetic thin films were studied using atomic force microscope (AFM). In-situ tensile testing of the magnetic tapes in an AFM was carried out using a custom built stage. The morphologies of the cracks in metal particle (MP) and metal evaporated (ME) magnetic tapes were determined. In the MP tape, a large number of cracks of smaller length was observed, whereas in the ME, the cracks were few in number and extend through out the width of the specimen.
