“…Sec. III-A) and only N is varied, yielding particularly the same crystalline and interface anisotropy.Indeed, quantitative evaluations of the hysteresis loops, stripe domain periods, as well as micromagnetic simulations, indicate that our whole sample series can be approximately described by the same values of A, MS, and Ku = 2.58 ± 0.28 × 10 5 J/m 3 (see Supplemental Material[63]), yielding Q factors that are constantly smaller than 1 with an average value of Q ̅ = 0.31 ± 0.01.In summary, we see that the applied field orientation β as well as the balance of magnetic energy contributions have a significant impact on the morphology of the remanent domain states: a full demagnetization processes may result in either aligned or randomly distributed stripe domain patterns, by simply changing either β or N. In the next section, we explore the viability of modulating the remanent magnetic domain configuration via minor loop cycling, as suggested in prior studies[48][49][50].…”
