Abstract
Domain wall coupling in thin film sandwiches of permalloy/Cu/permalloy, obt ained by sputtering, of thickness from 2000 Angstrom/200 Angstrom/2000 Angs trom up to 200 Angstrom/50 Angstrom/200 Angstrom has been studied to determ ine the coupling field between domain walls. To perform this study samples were cut in a size small enough to obtain a value of magnetostatic energy o f the same order than the domain wall energy. Results show the possibility of obtaining magnetic dots with bistable behaviour of microns size.
