Numerical simulation of magnetic domain evolution in Co/Pd thin films

POSTER

Abstract

We report on the development of a novel algorithm for the numerical simulation of two-dimensional magnetic domain patterns. By allowing an arbitrary function to act as a constraint on the envelope of the fourier modulus of the simulated domain pattern, we are able to use experimentally observed scattering patterns to guide the evolution of the simulation. Here we show the results of simulations on magnetic domain growth in Co/Pd thin films.
