C. Typical Material Parameters

In the following table a list of typical material parameters of magnetic materials is given in SI and cgs units, which have been (partly) used in the micromagnetic simulations of this thesis.



The symbols have the following meanings:

T measurement temperature
Ms saturation magnetization
Js saturation polarization ($J_s=\mu_o M_s$)
Aexch exchange constant
Kani1 first anisotropy constant $K_1$
Kani2 second anisotropy constant $K_2$
Hk anisotropy field $H_k=\sqrt{2 K_1/J_s}$
Tc Curie temperature
E(Bloch) domain wall energy of a Bloch wall $E_\mathrm{Bloch}=\pi \sqrt{A K_1}$
Lex(A,K) Bloch exchange length $l_\mathrm{bex}=\sqrt{A/K_1}$
Lex(A,Ms) Néel exchange length $l_\mathrm{nex}=\sqrt{2A/(\mu_0 M_s^2)}$
