A Study of the Micromagnetic Structure of Domain Walls in Ultrathin Magnetic Films

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research Aims and scope

Abstract

A numerical method is used to study the structure and energy of the Néel domain wall in an ultrathin magnetic film of the permalloy type. It is shown that the structure of the Néel domain wall is determined by a pattern of changes in the magnetostatic energy, which is divided, so as to decrease its value, into the following three regions: the core region and two regions of lateral turnarounds.
