Neel wall

Neel wall

"Neel wall" is one type of the boundary structure of magnetic domains whose magnetization directions are antiparallel or different by 180°to each other. This wall is formed in a thin-film specimen. The magnetic dipoles parallel to the specimen surface continuously rotate in planes parallel to the surface at the magnetic wall, and connect to those of the adjacent domain with the opposite magnetization. In a diffraction pattern formed by two adjacent magnetic domains containing a Neel wall, a diffuse intensity arc appears connecting the diffraction spots from the two domains.
