A study is made of the temperature‐induced phase transition in the magnetic bubble lattice (MBL) at which the MBL is decomposed into two coexistent phases, namely, blocks of a new lattice and stripe‐domain areas. A thermodynnmic analysis of the process of formation of the stripe‐domain nucleation centres is performed and the critical size of the nucleation centre is found. It is shown that if the film material characteristic length decreases with increasing tempernture the critical size of nucleation centre decreases and that at a certain temperature the MBL becomes unstable against the formation of two‐phase structure. The dependence of the MBL thermal stability range on the bias field strength is obtained and the relative number of bubbles decomposed into stripes is found. A comparison with the experimcnt is made.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
