Abstract
The effect of charging on the domain structure in thin NiFe shapes is studied experimentally. Satisfaction of the boundary condition leads to some rather energetic metastable domain structures with a high degree of charging, which often plays an important role in determination of the final domain shape. It is shown that the magnetic history of a rectangle has a strong influence on how much field is necessary to reverse the domain structure. Practical implications of the above results for magnetoresistive sensor design is discussed
