Abstract :
The effects of varying grain size to the domain wall widths in systems with cubic and uniaxial anisotropy is investigated through micromagnetic simulations. It was found that the domain wall width is a useful measure of the effect of randomized anisotropy in simulated structures that closely resemble real nanocrystalline structures.
