Cross-Tie Walls in Thin Films

Abstract
Various properties of cross-tie walls are summarized. Several new Bitter pattern experiments dealing with cross-tie walls are described. The first experiment firmly determines the magnetization distribution about a cross-tie, with the aid of an applied field at 45° to the wall. The second experiment tests the stability of cross-tie walls. It is shown in this experiment that another wall configuration is possible. This is discussed in light of the buckling mechanism of film switching.
