Which mechanism hinders magnetic domain alignment in iron?

💡 Explanation

Magnetocrystalline anisotropy causes certain crystal orientations prefer magnetization; domains align with these because it minimizes energy, therefore alignment is hindered if anisotropy is high, rather than easier domain wall motion expected if anisotropy was compensated.
