Bloch wall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Bloch wall is a narrow transition region at the boundary between magnetic domains, over which the magnetisation changes from its value in one domain to that in the next. In a 180° domain material, if there are N steps in a Bloch wall, then over each step the direction of the magnetisation changes by π/N radians.

Bloch walls are named after the physicist Felix Bloch.
