Abstract
The distribution of the magnetization is calculated for a thick ferromagnetic slab with easy axis transverse to the plane of the slab in a large applied field in the plane of the slab. The calculation predicts a stable nonuniform distribution which has several features suggestive of the domain pattern to be expected in such a system. In particular, the pattern consists of alternating strips having approximately the periodicity expected from conventional domain theory; and incipient flux closure domains appear if the anisotropy field is smaller than the demagnetizing field.Keywords
