Strain-induced magnetization reorientation in epitaxial Cu/Ni/Cu rings

The role of the strain state in epitaxial (001)-oriented Cu/Ni(14 nm)/Cu rings is investigated using a combination of magnetic force microscopy and finite-element calculations. Rings with an external diameter of 3 and 2 μm and linewidth W larger than 400 nm show two different structures: domains wit...
