FORMATION OF MULTI-BRANCHED DOMAINS IN GARNET BUBBLE FILMS BY LOW-BIAS-PULSE METHOD

The formation of multi-branched domains( MBDs) at low static bias field was first studied. With multiple branches, MBDs contain more or less same-signed vertical-Bloch-lines (VBLs) in their walls, Experiments. on four samples have shown that under certain conditions, the amount and hardness of the MBDs formed can be easily controlled, and so-called "low-bias-field method" is another effective way to form VBL chains. It was found that MBDs are formed due to the expansion of domain segments after compressed by a rectangular bias pulse. The number of VBLs nucleated in domain walls is affected by the space where the domains expand rapidly.     

INFLUENCE OF IN-PLANE FIELD ON THE STABILITY OF VERTICAL BLOCH LINE CHAINS IN HARD DOMAINS OF GARNET BUBBLE FILMS

The stability of vertical Bloch line (VBL) chains was statistically studied for all three types of bard domains in garnet bubble films subjected to an in-plane field H_ip. With a set of integrate data taken from seven bubble samples and with two typical figures of a sample, four main features of the behavior of VBL chains subjected to H_ip were summarized.     

ANNIHILATION OF VERTICAL-BLOCH-LINE CHAINS IN THE WALLS OF THE SECOND KIND OF DUMBBELL DOMAINS SUBJECTED TO AN IN-PLANE FIELD

An experiment was statistically performed on the annihilation of vertical-Bloch-line (VBL) chains in the walls of the second kind of dumbbell domains (ⅡDs) subjected to an in-plane field H_ip. It was again confirmed that there is a critical in-plane field H′_ip, above which all VBL chains of hard domains in garnet bubble films, including ⅡDa, disappear. Just like ordinary hard bubbles (OHBs), it was also found that there exists a critical range of H_ip, from (H_ip)_ID to H′_ip, for ⅡD softening. Over this range, with the increase of H_ip, more and more ⅡDs are softened, accompanied by the successive appearance of the first kind of dumbbell domains, OHBs and soft bubbles. In addition, for the five samples tested, the ratio, H′_ip/(H_ip)_ID, is obviously greater than 2^1/2.     

INFLUENCE OF IN-PLANE FIELD ON THE CRITICAL TEMPERATURE FOR THE BREAKDOWN OF VERTICAL BLOCH LINE CHAINS

The influence of in-plane field H_ip on the critical temperature T₀ for the breakdown of vertical Bloch line (VBL) chains of hard domains in garnet bubble films has been inves-tigated experimentally. It was found that T₀ can be significantly reduced by the increase of H_ip. Besides, the critical in-plane field H′_ip for the breakdown of VBL chains was measured as a function of temperature T for the same sample. As a result, the correlation between these two critical parameters, T₀ and H′_ip, was found. By introducing an effective in-plane field (H_ip)_e, the positive definiteness of the system of VBL pairs with two-dimemsional magnetization distribution was analyzed, giving rise to a theoretical expression of H′_ip(T): H′_ip(T) =|4πM_sQ(a₀+a₁Q +a₂Q²+a₃Q³+ a₄Q⁴)|^T_(T0(Hip=0)), where a_i are constants. It agrees well with the experiments.
