We discuss simulation results of three different models for the pinning of
the domain walls in permanent magnets as a function of temperature. They co
rrespond to pinning of the wall by periodic arrays of planes, faces of cube
s and pyramids. The pinning potential can repel or attract the domain walls
. The simulation results are compared with recent experimental data for the
2:17 magnets. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-8979(99)24108
