Popis: An analysis shows that for pseudospin valve elements with smooth edges, the sense field becomes ineffective in reducing the switching threshold for the thin layer in the body of the element if the element is wider than about 0.35 μm because of domain flexibility. Experimental results at 1.2 μm element width agree with the analysis. The sense field can lower the thresholds in wider elements if the switching is initiated in the tapered ends or in rough edges.
