We present results of a magnetic SAXS experiment on a wedge-shaped (Co0−10Å/Pd10Å)8 multilayer film in the multidomain state. The diffraction patterns show isotropic rings which result from strongly disordered magnetic domain patterns. To describe the scattering pattern, a model has been developed based on a one-dimensional domain pattern with gamma-distributed domain sizes [1].
Structure factors generated from the model are fitted to the experimental data with very good agreement. The analysis reveals average domain sizes (depending on Co-thickness) that significantly deviate from the value commonly extracted from the peak position of the structure factor. The structure factor is described by the same shape parameter of the gamma distribution independent on the mean domain size.
