The formation of multi-branched domains(MBDs)at low static bias field
was first studied. With multiple branches, MBDs contain more or less s
ame-signed vertical-Bloch-lines(VBLs) in their walls. Experiments on f
our samples have shown that under certain conditions, the amount and h
ardness of the MBDs formed can be easily controlled, and so-called ''l
ow-bias-field method'' is another effective way to form VBL chains. It
was found that MBDs are formed due to the expansion of domain segment
s after compressed by a rectangular bias pulse. The number of VBLs nuc
leated in domain walls is affected by the space where the domains expa
nd rapidly.
