Abstract

The criteria for the existence of stable magnetic bubble domains and their potential in data storage applications are outlined. The development of single crystal materials capable of supporting such domains is reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to both the static and dynamic properties of bubble domains and to how, by careful materials design and preparation, the optimum balance of these properties can be attained.
