Decision Method of Magnetic Domain Walls Using Pixel Value Operation in the Magnetic Domain Image Observed by Kerr Microscopy  

Kim, Young-Hak (Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Pukyong University)
Abstract
Kerr microscopy was assembled to observe magnetic domain image of ultra thin 3 %Si-Fe by using parts of an optical microscope. Digital images were obtained from CCD camera attached to the microscopy. A method was suggested to decide a boundary between magnetic domain regions in this study. The method was using some operations such as subtraction, integration and least mean square approximation for pixel values in the digital image. The method has a strong point that high priced image processor is not needed in the Kerr microscopy system. From the results that three different domain walls were observed and magnetic flux density of 0.085 [T], this method could be applied in the magnetic domain regions having a straight $180^{\circ}$ domain wall.
