Abstract: This article is devoted to the study of the static parameters of domain structures found in garnet ferrite films
(Balbashov, 1976; Kandaurova, 1990; Kandaurova, 1999). In the works (Rusinov, 2014; Rusinov, 2015),
the effect of alternating and constant magnetic fields on structures of this kind has already been considered
in detail. The mechanisms of formation and destruction of structures, as well as the processes of formation
of DDS on artificial and natural defects, are considered. The experimentally obtained results allowed us to
conclude that such formations are very sensitive to changes in magnetic fields, which allows them to be
used in the creation of non-destructive testing devices, for example, to control the quality of a railway track.
1 INTRODUCTION
Dynamic domain structures called Leading centers
are formed on point defects in thin epitaxial films of
iron garnets. Experimental studies have shown that
for the formation of this type of structures, a
necessary condition is the presence of a defect. Both
natural and artificial defects were present on the
studied samples. The origin of the defect has
practically no effect on the behavior of the ECs; with
changes in the parameters of the magnetic fields, the
ECs behave identically (
Rusinov, 2018; Rusinov, 2020;
Kandaurova, 2005; Kryuchkova, 2021; Rusinov, 2021).
Examples of such structures are shown in Fig.1.
Figure 1: Dynamic Structures, Small and Large Leading
Centers.
Figure 1 clearly shows that the EC is a system of
concentric rings, the center of which is located on
the defect. With a change in the amplitude and fre-
quency of the magnetic field, the number of rings of
the Small and Large ECs changes significantly. The
experiment showed that such structures exist only in
a certain range of frequencies and amplitudes of the
magnetic field. A detailed study of the areas of ex-
istence of VCs made it possible to determine the
boundaries of the destruction and formation of these
structures. Figure 2 shows the regions of existence
of Leading centers for different f and H. It can be
noted that with an increase in the frequency of the
alternating field, the regions shift towards lower
amplitudes and decrease in size.

an alternating magnetic field.
The process of formation is accompanied by a
gradual increase in the number of rings of the Lead-
ing center, and the process of destruction by a de-
crease in the number of ring domains until the struc-
ture completely disappears. Figure 3 shows the de-
pendences of the number of VC rings on various
defects, depending on the amplitude and frequency
of the alternating field.
