Abstract
The angular dependence of the transverse and vortex modes in a magnetic nanotube is investigated as a function of the tube geometry, by means of analytical calculations and numerical simulations. A critical radius defining the transition between vortex and transverse reversal modes is determined, leading to low or high coercivity modes just by varying the direction of the external field, in a fixed nanotube.
