Abstract
By means of Monte Carlo simulations, magnetic configurations with vortices are shown to appear in ultrathin magnetic films with exchange and dipolar interactions. The stability of these vortices is studied in detail. The presence of perpendicular anisotropy and external magnetic field is also investigated. A magnetic soliton is shown to appear during in-plane magnetization reversal.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
