Abstract :
Indirect measurements have been made of the switching time during the write process of selected plated wire memory elements with different substrate topographies. Results are presented for nonmagnetostrictive Ni-Fe films of thickness 4000 ± 150 Å and anisotropy field

Oe in a fixed switching field geometry. Switching time is found to increase as the substrate topography becomes rougher. This is accounted for by the influence of substrate topography on easy axis dispersion and domain wall motion threshold.
