Switching behavior in ferromagnetic nanostructures is often determined by the formation and annihilation of domain walls (DWs). In contrast to the more familiar 180° DWs found in most nanostructures, 360° DWs are the proposed transition state of nanorings. This paper examines the formation of 360° DWs created by the application of a circular magnetic field using micromagnetic simulations. 360° DWs form from pairs of canting moments that are oppositely aligned, which each grow to form rotated domains bounded by two 180° DWs and the 180° DWs combine to form 360° DWs. The resulting 360° DWs occur in pairs of opposite …

Holographic sensors are analytical devices that systematically diffract narrow-band light in the ultraviolet to near-infrared range for application in the detection and quantification of analytes and/or physical parameters. They can be functionalized with analyte-responsive materials to construct highly sensitive optical sensors for use in testing, where a visual readout, fast turnaround time, and reversibility are needed. Holography allows fabrication of disposable sensors that are lightweight for miniaturization and multiplexing purposes.3 Holographic sensors offer three capabilities on a single analytical device: (i) label-free analyte-responsive polymer, (ii) real-time, reversible quantification of the external stimuli, and (iii) three-dimensional visual image display.
