Abstract

Magnetic stripe domains in evaporated Ni–Fe films were observed by using spin-polarized scanning electron microscopy (spin-SEM). At the surface of the Ni–Fe film, both the magnetization components in the film plane, Mx and My, perpendicular and parallel to the stripes, respectively, change periodically across the stripe domains. The wavelength for Mx change is twice the stripe width, while the wavelength for My is the same as the stripe width. The amplitude for Mx change is larger than that for My. From this it has been clarified that the magnetization near the surface not only rotates upwards and downwards from the film plane, but also rotates in the film plane across the stripe domains.
