Abstract
We have simulated the magnetic relaxation (M(t)) and the nucleation of magnetic domains in the presence of magnetic field in thin films with anisotropy perpendicular to the film plane. We have used Monte Carlo simulations based on the two-dimensional classical Ising model includi ng the long-range dipole-dipole and Zeeman interactions. Domains nucle ated during the magnetic relaxation exhibit very rough interfaces. We analyze the roughness and the M(t) as a function of the relative stren gth of dipole-dipole and Zeeman terms.
