We study the Landau-Lifshitz model for the energy of multi-scale transition layers – called "domain walls'' – in soft ferromagnetic films. Domain walls separate domains of constant magnetization vectors mα±​∈S2 that differ by an angle 2α. Assuming translation invariance tangential to the wall, our main result is the rigorous derivation of a reduced model for the energy of the optimal transition layer, which in a certain parameter regime confirms the experimental, numerical and physical predictions: The minimal energy splits into a contribution from an asymmetric, divergence-free core which performs a partial rotation in S2 by an angle 2θ, and a contribution from two symmetric, logarithmically decaying tails, each of which completes the rotation from angle θ to α in S1. The angle θ is chosen such that the total energy is minimal. The contribution from the symmetric tails is known explicitly, while the contribution from the asymmetric core is analyzed in [7].
