Charged domain walls are a type of transition layers in thin ferromagnetic films which appear due to global topological constraints. The underlying micromagnetic energy is determined by a competition between a diffuse interface energy and the long-range magnetostatic interaction. The underlying model is non-convex and vectorial. In the macroscopic limit we show that the energy Γ-converges to a limit model where jump discontinuities of the magnetization are penalized anisotropically. In particular, we identify a supercritical regime which allows for tangential variation of the domain walls.
