Abstract
By means of Monte Carlo simulations, magnetic configurations with vortices are shown to appear in ultrathin magnetic films with exchange and dipolar i nteractions. The stability of these vortices is studied in detail. The pres ence of perpendicular anisotropy and external magnetic field is also invest igated. A magnetic soliton is shown to appear during in-plane magnetization reversal. [S0163-1829(99)01005-X].
