    Abstract

    Reverse domain nucleation time measurements have been performed on two Tb/Fe multilayer magneto-optic films exhibiting different degrees of domain wall pinning.A linear relationship between ln (reverse domain nucleation time) and the applied field has been predicted and observed for a sample exhibiting weak domain wall pinning.This is in agreement with theoretical work presented which addresses time dependence in systems possessing weak domain wall pinning.A non-linear relationship applicable over a restricted field range has been derived for a sample exhibiting strong domain wall pinning. Experimental results have indicated that this relationship is also valid.
