Abstract

Magnetic domain structures of FeAu superlattices are studied by experiment and modelling. The domain period, magnetic hysteresis loops and magnetic susceptibility were measured for a wide range of the film thickness, 3- 50 monolayers. Domain structures were observed by utilizing a magnetooptical installation based on the Kerr effect (MOKE) and magnetic force microscope (MFM). Typical MFM images of domain structures are shown in Fig.1. It is found that the zero-field domain period is inversely proportional to the saturation field. The thickness dependence of the domain period is well described by the classical domain models using the modified relationships for the domain wall energy density [1].
