Nanostructures of zero magnetization in orthoferrites

In orthoferrites - canted ferromagnets with extremely high domain wall velocities - the change of handedness in the domain walls does not occur in Bloch lines but in lines of zero magnetization, which represent magnetooptical nanostructures. Observations of the lines and of the domain wall inclinations in plates of yttrium orthoferrite are reported. The inclinations take place in the direction of the crystallographic /spl alpha/ axis and reach tens of degrees.
