摘要： The effects of the number and the location of notches on the formation of flux-closure states in bi-rings with fields applied in the x direction (i.e., along the short axis direction of bi-rings) and y direction (i.e., along the long axis direction of bi-rings) are investigated using micromagnetic simulation. For the bi-rings with one notch and the bi-rings with two notches symmetric about y axis, the order of flux-closure state formation in each ring can be controlled. But the flux-closure state forms simultaneously in each ring for the bi-rings with two notches symmetric about x axis. For the bi-rings with two notches that are symmetric neither about x axis nor about y axis, only one ring can form a flux-closure state in the y-direction field and no flux-closure state can be found in rings in the x-direction field. Therefore, logic states can be defined by controlling the order of flux-closure state formation, which can be utilized in future logic devices.
