Abstract
MEASUREMENTS of the velocity of propagation of a ferromagnetic domain boundary were first carried out in the well-known experiment of Sixtus and Tonks1. Afterwards, Williams et al. 2 were able to measure the velocity of a single domain wall observed to exist in a [100] ‘picture frame’ single crystal of 3.5 per cent silicon-iron. These measurements were later extended to ferrite single crystals3 and to polycrystalline 65 per cent nickel–iron made pseudo-single crystalline by annealing in a magnetic field4.
