Abstract
FeSi films have been rf sputtered on glass, fused silica, and Si substrates. Sputter targets of 2 and 7 wt% Si were used, and the film thickness was varied between 0.1 and 4 μm. Several films, especially those on glass in the 0.5-μm-thickness range, showed a characteristic roughly rectangular domain structure. The films were isotropic. The structure has been analyzed with the longitudinal magneto-optic Kerr effect by rotating either the film or the demagnetizing field in the film plane. The magnetization made an angle of about 18° with the longer walls. A new magnetization process, ``wall rotation'', could be observed.
