Stray-field-free Magnetization Configurations

A. Hubert

The concept of stray-field-free micromagnetic configurations is applied 
to Bloch- and Neel-walls, to stripe domains, and to the ripple structure 
in thin magnetic films. We propose a new structure of Bloch-walls with a 
lower energy than the most general classical Bloch-walls as claculated by 
LaBonte. In general a stray-field-free configuration has a lower symmetry 
than the simpler structures considered previously. It is concluded that 
the real structure, if not completely stray-field-free, should have at 
least the same symmetry as a possible stray-field-free solution. The 
significance of Brown's equation, which in general cannot be staisfied 
without admitting stray-fields, is analysed with regard to the 
micromagnetic boundary condition.
