Abstract
We describe the thermalβdriven evolution of stripe domain structures in ultrathin magnetic films with perpendicular anisotropy. Taking into account temperature dependencies of the film magnetic parameters we analyze possible temperature dependencies of the domain period. It is shown that the film heating leads to a decrease in the domain period. In soft films thermally assisted domain nucleation could provide a continuous decrease of the domain period while the domain structure passes through equilibrium states. On increasing the temperature of a hard film, the domain structure exists as metastable one adjusting its period by a sequence of jumps towards to equilibrium. (Β© 2006 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Ultrathin magnetic films are considered where the thickness-induced second order phase transition occurs due to surface magnetic anisotropy changes. By increasing the thickness, the easy magnetization axis state passes through the easy cone state (for film thickness t: t 1 < t < t 2 ) into the easy
Ion-irradiation of ferromagnetic films induces pronounced changes of their microstructure and micromagnetism. The present study is devoted to the changes in the domain structure in 65-75 nm electron-evaporated polycrystalline Ni films due to 200-keV Xe + or 100-keV Ni + implantation. For magnetic an
