[en] In inhomogeneous bulk ferromagnets, the dominating sources of spin disorder are related to spatial variations of (i) the magnitude of the local saturation magnetization and of (ii) the magnitude and/or direction of the magnetic anisotropy field. For the particular example of a porous ferromagnet, where the magnetization inhomogeneity is at maximum, we demonstrate, by means of experimental neutron scattering data and micromagnetic simulations, the anisotropic character of magnetization fluctuations induced by the dipolar interaction.
