Shape anisotropy and magnetic domain structures in striped monolayers
arXiv:cond-mat/9712158 · doi:10.1007/s100510050270
Abstract
We study the effect of dipolar interactions on a magnetic striped monolayer with a microscopic unit cell of square symmetry, and of size spins. Even if the aspect ratio is very large, an in-plane shape anisotropy is always negligible, except if is fairly small . In-plane domains are not possible, except for values of the dipolar coupling larger than the domain wall energy.
