We present an analysis of the structure of Bloch walls in layered magnetic materials in the context of micromagnetics. We have obtained the Γ -limit of a one-dimensional reduction of the Landau–Lifshitz energy for a double layer in several asymptotic regimes. As a result, the optimal energy, the core length and the optimal shape of the Bloch wall have been determined. The effects of the interlayer spacing and the film thickness are studied. A comparison between the structure of the Bloch and Néel walls in multilayers is carried out. We illustrate all our findings by numerically minimizing the one-dimensional energy.
