57 In a magnetic memory device comprising a magnetic medium (21) having an easy axis of magnetization orthogonal to a principal surface of the medium, the medium has at least one stripe domain (20) surrounded by a domain wall which memorizes information in the form of a pair of vertical Bloch lines. Each pair is written in one end of the domain by supply of a local magnetic field to the one end when no magnetic bubble exists in the proximity of the one end. Each information is specified by absence or presence of each pair and successively transferred along the domain wall by a pulsed bias magnetic field. Readout operation is carried out at a preselected end of the stripe domain by supply of another local magnetic field to the preselected end to selectively chop the preselected end into a magnetic bubble only when each pair exists in the preselected end. Thus, presence and absence of each pair is converted into presence and absence of the bubble.

A thermomagnetic recording method makes use of a layer of soft magnetic material having an easy axis of magnetisation normal to the layer, the material being of a type in which magnetic bubble domains can be generated. A bias magnetic field is applied to the layer, the strength of the magnetic field being between the run-out field and the collapse field of the layer, and an optical beam is applied to the layer so as to form a bubble domain having a direction of magnetisation that is opposite to that of the bias field, the layer of soft magnetic material having selected value of ΔM s , Δσ w /σ w , f, h, He and M, to satisfy the relationship AT AT where He is the coercive force of the layer, M, is the saturation magnetisation of the layer, h is a thickness of the layer, σ w is the domain wall energy, d is the diameter of the generated domain, and each of C M and C o is a constant determined by h, d and f, where

A major/minor loop bubble memory system includes a passive replicator (34) in the major loop read channel (33) which is connected by a first path (42) to a mode switch- annihilator (44) and a merge point in the major loop write channel (30) and by a second path (36) to an off-chip decision-making means (38) and the merge point in the write channel. The decision-making means (38) is positioned the same or fewer propagation steps than the mode switch-annihilator (44) is from the replicator (34). The decision-making means (38) is activated to cause either the replicated data to pass through the mode switch-annihilator (44) into the write channel or the replicated data to be annihilated in the mode switch-annihilator and the data from a generator (40) to pass into the write channel.

Guard rails are described for particular use with magnetic bubble domain chips using contiguous propagation elements. These guard rails generally surround the active device area (storage area 12) of the chip (10) and are used to move stray bubble domains from the storage area to the edge of the chip, orto a collapser, and also to prevent stray bubbles from entering the active device area. These guard rail structures are comprised of contiguous propagation elements characterized by an undulating edge (28) and a smooth edge (30), both of which generally move bubble domains away from the active device area in response to the reorientation of the magnetic drive field (Hxy). In one embodiment, the guard rail is a spiral structure (14) surrounding the active device area, having one end in the interior of the magnetic bubble chip (10) adjacent to the active device area (12), and another end near the edge of the chip, or near a bubble annihilator, etc. In another embodiment, the guard rail is comprised of a plurality of structures (26) generally defining a broken-spiral which surround the active device area (12). One end of each of these structures is located near the active device area, while the other end is disposed toward the edge of the magnetic bubble chip. In the case of ion implanted contiguous propagation elements, the mask used to define the regions of ion implantation can be used as control conductors (32-40) for the devices in the active device region. For example, this mask can be used as a transfer conductor (34,36) to move bubble domains into and out of a storage area, and can also be used as a nucleate conductor (32), and as a stretcher-sensor conductor (38,40) for detection of bubbles.

A defect tolerant lattice file memory having means in the access column for annihilating lattice bubbles in a previously detected defective row thus eliminating an error in the digital information to be extracted from the lattice file. This annihilation means comprises a ladder formed in a conductor overlay located over the access column in which partial current loops may be formed by disconnecting certain selected portions of the ladder. These current loops create a localized magnetic field when the ladder conductor is activated thus annihilating the selected row of bubbles. Thus lattice file chips found to have defective rows which will not support and maintain lattice bubbles in theirs desired coded state can now be utilized.

A region (21) of a different magnetic energy from other portions is formed in a soft-magnetic film (1b) of which the axis of easy magnetization is perpendicular to the film surface, and which has been unidirectionally magnetized by the application of an external bias magnetic field. A cylindrical magnetic domain b magnetized in the direction opposite to that of the film (1b) by irradiation of the film surface with a light beam is formed at a first stable position within the region (21), and is moved to a second cylindrical magnetic domain c.b by irradiation with the light beam or to a second stable position by utilizing a temperature gradient, to enable stable recording and reading operations, and provide a reliable calculation function.
