Stress-induced magnetic domain structure in DyFe11Ti compound

Abstract

In this work, we present the results of the DyFe11Ti compound magnetic domain structure (DS) exploration. It was found that mechanical polishing leads to a change of the anisotropy of the surface layer, which affects the magnetic DS configuration. It is established that the equilibrium structure of the surface domains is restored through time under unchanged external conditions. It is suggested that the mechanism of DS relaxation has thermal fluctuation nature.
