Micromagnetic configuration of a head-to-head domain wall in a 200 nm wide, 60 nm thick Py strip.
(a–d) Vortex domain wall. (e–h) Landau domain wall. In all images, X, Y and Z stand for the length, width and thickness of the strip, respectively. The red/blue color code gives the amplitude of the magnetisation component along X (a,e), Y (b,f) and Z (c,d,g,h). Black arrows represent the local direction of magnetisation. (a–c,e–g) XY cross section views of the domain walls taken at mid-height (z = 30 nm). (d,h) Cross section views of the same domain walls along the dashed white line shown in (c) and (g).
