Near the Curie temperature of a ferromagnet the form of a domain wall changes from the Bloch type to (asymptotically) the linear Zhirnov wall. Unlike the simple 180 degree rotation of the magnetization vector in a Bloch wall, its absolute…
We study the effect of dipolar interactions on a magnetic striped monolayer with a microscopic unit cell of square symmetry, and of size $(N_x\times N_y)$ spins. Even if the aspect ratio $r=N_x/N_y$ is very large, an in-plane shape…

Domain structures appear in ultrathin magnetic films, if an easy-axis anisotropy, favouring the direction perpendicular to the film, overcomes the shape anisotropy. We will study the nature of the magnetic ground state and how the different…
