Abstract

Stripe domain phase in a two-dimensional magnetic system was studied using model calculation and Monte-Carlo simulation in the spin reorientation transition (SRT) region. We find that near the SRT point the stripe domains evolve into a static spin wave structure with a fractional in-plane magnetization along the stripe direction and a fractional out-of-plane magnetization in a sinusoidal form. With increase in the uniaxial perpendicular anisotropy, both the wavelength and the height of the static spin wave increase slowly until the saturation of the wave height, after which the stripe width increases exponentially with the magnetic anisotropy. Our theoretical result is in good agreement with experimental observations.
