In multiscale situations cross--overs between different scaling laws are observed. We give a simple example from micromagnetics. In soft ferromagnetic films, the geometric character of a wall separating two magnetic domains depends on the film thickness. We identify this transition from a N\\'eel wall to an Asymmetric Bloch wall by rigorously establishing a cross--over in the specific wall energy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-05-01T00:23:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "scaling laws", "simple example", "micromagnetics", "asymmetric bloch wall", "magnetic domains depends" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.ph...5001O" } } }
