The Influence of Magnetoelectric Interactions on the Domain Walls in Multiferroics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of magnetoelectric interactions on the magnetic structure, flexomagnetoelectric polarization and magnetization in thin multiferroics film has been investigated. The correlation between antiferromagnetic domain structure and ferroelectric domain pattern has been revealed. It has been shown the asymmetry of the antiferromagnetic vector distribution over multiferroics film in the case of 1090 and 710 ferroelectric domain walls. The direction of spins rotation in magnetic domain walls is determined by the type of ferroelectric domains and the antiferromagnetic vector in the centre of ferroelectric domain. The peculiarities of the micromagnetic distribution are reflected in the behavior of polarization and magnetization, which appears to be different for 1800, 1090 and 710 ferroelectric domains.
