Self similar Barkhausen noise in magnetic domain wall motion

A model for domain wall motion in ferromagnets is analyzed. Long-range magnetic dipolar interactions are shown to give rise to self-similar dynamics when the external magnetic field is increased adiabatically. The power spectrum of the resultant Barkhausen noise is of the form $1/\omega^\alpha$, where $\alpha\approx 1.5$ can be estimated from the critical exponents for interface depinning in random media.
