We show that a type of magnetic domain walls (DWs) can be monitored by anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) measurements due to a specific DW volume depending on the DW type in NiFe magnetic wires. A circular DW injection pad is used to generate DWs at a low magnetic field, resulting in reliable DW introduction into magnetic wires. DW pinning is induced by a change of DW energy at an asymmetric single notch. The injection of DW from the circular pad and its pinning at the notch is observed by using AMR and magnetic force microscope (MFM) measurements. A four-point probe AMR measurement allows us to distinguish the DW type in the switching process because DWs are pinned at the single notch, where voltage probes are closely placed around the notch. Two types of AMR behavior are observed in the AMR measurements, which is owing to a change of DW structures. MFM images and micromagnetic simulations are consistent with the AMR results.

A pair of magnetic domain walls (DWs) in ferromagnetic NiFe rings has been investigated in terms of the magnetic force microscopy (MFM). When the distance between the rings d is greater than a threshold value dth, MFM signals indicate that a DW in the ring is dragged due to a stray magnetic field from an MFM probe tip. When d < dth, this drag signals disappears; DWs are bound to each other by the DW-DW interaction. This transition can be argued in terms of the competition between the DW-DW magnetostatic interaction and the DW-drag potential. From the d-dependent MFM data, the DW-drag potential was estimated.
