Abstract
Magnetic stripe domains in Fe Ni Cu(001) were imaged and studied using photoemission electron microscopy. The stripe domain width decreases exponentially as the system approaches the spin reorientation transition (SRT) point. A reduction of the Curie temperature (TC) is observed within a narrow gap of the SRT region. For film with fixed thickness, the stripe domains below TC represent only part of the stripe phase due to a higher SRT temperature than TC.
