Instantons and solitons in a monolayer film of ferromagnetic grains with biaxial anisotropy

摘要

We investigate domain wall and domain structure in a monolyer film consisting of ferromagnetic grains with biaxial anisotropy, which are seen to be the static versions of instanton and soliton, respectively. The equation of motion of the magnetization vector is reduced to the (1 + 2)-dimensional sine-Gordon field equation in strong anisotropy limit and the instanton and soliton configurations are obtained analytically. Various new domain structures in the ferromagnetic film are found. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. [References: 16]
