Abstract
The magnetic domain structure in Co and Co-based alloys is strongly influenced by the pronounced crystalline anisotropy of hcp Co. The energy associated with this crystalline anisotropy is given by:
where K1 and K2 are the first and second anisotropy constants respectively and φ is the angle between the magnetisation and the c-axis.
