Abstract

This work provides a review of the existing micromagnetic models of the interaction of magnetization structures with inhomogeneities with different magnetic properties and geometries. Most attention is paid to models of the interaction of domain walls with defects in thin magnetic films. This work also gives a brief overview of studies of magnetic structures associated with inhomogeneities of systems that are currently being intensively studied, such as antidot arrays in permalloy, cobalt, and composite films, skyrmions and skyrmion lattices, and materials with a granular and porous structure.
