MAZE DOMAINS IN SILICON-IRON CRYSTAL

Changes of the maze domain upon application of a horizontal field and a mechanical tension were observed for 4-percent Si-Fe crystal. It was found that the value of the local internal stress obtained in a previous paper should be reduced by a factor of 0.22 by taking into account the µ* correction. The corrected value agrees with the present experiment, The maze domains induced beneath an indentation applied to a (001) crystal surface indicate the plastically stressed region which is found to be confined to a sphere touching the crystal surface as expected from the theory of elasticity.
