Influence of the rotation frequency of the magnetic field on the dynamics of the domain structure of thin Fe–3% Si crystals

Abstract

Some specific features of the reconstruction of the domain structure of thin (0.10 mm) Fe–3% Si single crystals have been investigated depending on the frequency of the magnetization reversal in rotating magnetic fields. The studies have been carried out in the range of frequencies of 60–300 Hz and induction amplitudes of 0.5–1.6 T. It has been established that the magnetization reversal of the samples of this thickness occurs via the displacements of 180° domain walls of the stripe domain structure without the participation of the C-domain walls. A qualitative explanation to the revealed features of the behavior of the domain structure has been given, and their possible contribution to the magnetic losses of the investigated samples has been evaluated.
