Previously, the switching field of nanolithographically defined single-domain permalloy and nickel bars was found to increase monotonically as the bar aspect ratio increases or as the bar width decreases. In this work, we will show, for the first time, that when the bar width is fixed, the switching field of nanolithographically defined single-domain nickel and cobalt bars changes nonmonotonica...
