Abstract
Investigations on rf-sputtered CoCr-films with Lorentz-microscopy showed two typical micromagnetic structures, stripe-domains and dotlike patterns. The particulate case is due to Cr segregation into the column bounderies enhancing the Cr content by more than 6 at %. Energy calculations for the remanent state showed that in the case of continuous films stripedomains are stable. However in the particulate case the energy minimum was found for circular vertical domains.
