Magneto-optic study of the behavior of magnetic domains walls in ferrimagnetic garnet films placed over samples with in-plane magnetization

Magneto-optic (MO) imaging is based on Faraday rotation of a linearly polarized incident light beam illuminating a sensitive MO layer placed in close contact to the sample. For in-plane magnetized layers of Lu 3-x Bi x Fe 5-y Ga y O 12 ferrimagnetic garnet films, zig-zag domain formation occurs when...

description Magneto-optic (MO) imaging is based on Faraday rotation of a linearly polarized incident light beam illuminating a sensitive MO layer placed in close contact to the sample. For in-plane magnetized layers of Lu 3-x Bi x Fe 5-y Ga y O 12 ferrimagnetic garnet films, zig-zag domain formation occurs whenever the sample stray parallel field component changes sign. In this work we study the behavior of zig-zag domain walls that appear when the garnet is placed over samples with in-plane magnetization like audio tapes recorded with different signals.
