Beschreibung:
  • The equilibrium domain size in ferromagnetic single-layer films with canted magnetization, as observed in the spin-reorientation transition, is analytically described. It is demonstrated that for canted magnetization in the case of narrow domain walls the size of the magnetic domains depends solely on the second-order anisotropy constant and not on the first-order anisotropy. The single-layer model is extended to the application to multilayers. An approximation for the domain size of multilayers is developed and used for the analysis of data obtained via soft x-ray holography. Our analysis, including the canting angle, allows for the determination of the relative anisotropy constants to second order. © 2011 American Physical Society.
