An extensive effort is made by industry to introduce magnetic technologies using domain walls into sensors [1]. Domain wall quasiparticles are of interest for storing the state of a device and they can be operated at very low power. Magnetic domain walls are strongly influenced by the external and internal parameters of the material, the shape and the environment of the device. To reduce undesired effects such as non-reproducible operation, the device materials and geometries need to be engineered and high reproducibility can be achieved [2]. We study the influence of roughness, crystallisation, shape and material stacks on the magnetic operating field window of a free layer of a multi-turn sensor driven by a rotating external field. The magnetic operating window is limited by the nucleation field and the propagation field. The roughness and crystallisation are likely to induce a potential landscape that can result in a decrease of the nucleation field and the stacks may induce an asymmetry in this value. A large number of samples can be rapidly fabricated and tested by Kerr microscopy technique and using the GMR effect to ascertain the necessary statistics.
