Ferromagnetic domain observations have been made on single‐crystal nickel platelets, ranging from 900 A to over 10 μ in thickness, that have been grown nonepitaxially by the hydrogen reduction of the bromide. The platelets are generally rectangles or right triangles with (001) faces, 〈100〉 sides or legs, and edges from several microns up to 3 mm in length. Because their degree of perfection is close to that of metal whiskers, reversible domain wall motion occurs with a change of field of less than 0.01 Oe. Thus the domain configurations, observed by Lorentz microscopy and the Bitter technique, are in stable or metastable equilibrium. For platelets less than 1.0 μ thick, the magnetization lies in the plane along 〈110〉 directions, these being the projections of the 〈111〉 directions of minimum anisotropy energy. Echelons form the common closure structure near the edges. Some 180° walls appear to be of a combined Neel‐Bloch type. At a thickness of 1.0 μ a striped powder pattern appears within the planar domai...
