Abstract

The effect of a magnetic field on the behavior of 180-degree domain walls in a uniaxial ferromagnetic film with an inhomogeneous magnetoelectric interaction has been studied. It has been shown that, depending on the magnitude and direction of the field, it is possible to enhance or weaken the flexomagnetoelectric effect in the sample. In addition, it was found that in the reverse field the switching of the interaction between the electric field source and the domain wall from attraction to repulsion is possible.
