On the Domain Structure of Ferrite–Garnet Films with Complex Anisotropy under Quasi-Stationary Magnetization Reversal

Results are presented from an experimental and theoretical analysis of the quasi-stationary magnetization reversal of ferrite–garnet films with complex anisotropy. A magneto-optical setup based on the Faraday effect is used to determine conditions that allow reduction of the area of a domain structure. Destruction of the homogeneous magnetization of the magnetic film in four narrow regions relative to one another at right angles is also established. A theory in good agreement with the experimental results is proposed.
