Co Thickness (nm)
• Investigated magnetization reversal mechanisms in Co nanodisks embedded in multilayered nanowires by changing the Co aspect ratio.
•Captured magnetic and magnetoresistance "fingerprints" of single domain vs. vortex state reversal:in 200 nm nanowires, single domain for Co thickness < 32nm and vortex state for Co thickness > 37 nm.
