Abstract :
Permalloy networks have been fabricated using standard electron beam lithography through lift-off technique. Magnetic configurations of the thin film samples are then studied using magnetic force microscopy. The net magnetic poles combining uniform magnetizations from joint arms may lead to various domain configurations in each junction, hence multiple storage states are created in each physical junction.
