Abstract
Complicated domain configurations generated during the magnetization reversal of Permalloy elements patterned in various shapes are the results of a surprisingly few switching mechanisms. By comparing the results from micromagnetic simulations with the experimentally observed switching events using Lorentz microscopy, we found that nucleation and annihilation of vortices and vortex/anti-vortex pairs, and the propagation of Neel and cross-tie walls are the principle mechanisms for magnetization reversal in Permalloy elements with dimensions favorable to domain formation.Citation
