Spatial magnetization distribution of cobalt layer is studied by means of three-dimensional micromagnetic simulations in the range of cobalt thickness (d) from 21 to 249 nm. In this range, a spin-reorientation phase transition occurs, while the cobalt thickness increases, from a state with in-plane magnetization, to a state with out-of-plane components of magnetization. An infinite cobalt layer is modelled by the 750 nm × 750 nm × d structure consisting of cubic cells of size of 3 nm and the periodic boundary conditions. For larger thicknesses, a labyrinth, partially closed, stripe structure has been found.
