P. Meyer et al., DOMAIN-WALL STABILITY DURING THERMOMAGNETIC WRITING IN A [TB(8-ANGSTROM) FE(10-ANGSTROM)](7) MULTILAYERED THIN-FILM/, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 148(1-2), 1995, pp. 361-362
Thermomagnetic writing of domains has been performed in a [Tb(8 Angstr
om)/Fe(l0 Angstrom](7) multilayer and studied by magneto-optical micro
scopy. The nucleation process has been studied using the Huth energy m
odel. Introduction of the Tb/Fe thermal and magnetic characteristics g
ives very good agreement with experiment. It is also clear from the ca
lculation that the stable domain diameter appears during the cooling p
hase and not at the end of the laser pulse.
