Abstracts

EN

A two-dimensional phenomenological model of patch-domain formation on unsaturation in strongly coupled tri- and multilayer antiferromagnets is presented. Domain patterns are simulated using a fast Monte Carlo algorithm. As a first example the autocorrelation function of the simulated domain pattern is compared with that of a measured Kerr image.
