摘要: Based on a phenomenological model, spin structures either in the absence or presence of an external magnetic field have been studied for ultrathin cubic ferromagnetic films with in-plane uniaxial anisotropy. Phase diagrams configurations and different magnetization reversal processes given. The found to depend sensitively competition among energies anisotropies domain wall pinning.
