Abstract
Magnetic domain structures of submicrometric epitaxial CrO2 fabricated using selective-area growth technique were studied by magnetic force microscopy. In-plane, lamellar domain structure with fragmented walls aligned along the magnetic easy axis direction is observed, indicating the existence of a large magnetocrystalline anisotropy. A classical model for ferromagnetic materials with a uniaxial anisotropy was used to explain this domain configuration. Estimates of the domain wall energy density and exchange stiffness constant for CrO2 were obtained.
