Abstract

Magnetic Fe/Ni multilayers, investigated by Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM), show a stripe domains structure in which the magnetization is oriented in the film plane. This structure is attributed to the equilibrium configuration between competing in-plane anisotropy of the Ni layers and perpendicular anisotropy due to the thin Fe layers.
