Abstract
A Monte Carlo simulation of two-dimensional patch-domain formation and domain coarsening in antiferromagnetically coupled compensated multilayers with fourfold in-plane anisotropy is presented. The simulation accounts for both the emergence of small patch domains on unsaturation and domain coarsening on spin dispartial in hard direction. The simulated domain patterns are in good agreement with published Kerr microscopic images.
