20. Sending pulses through the sample with applied static fields generates an oscillation around the new equilibrium position.

22. In a reversed magnetic configuration the DW initially moves in the inverse direction when the Oersted field remains the same. It is similar to change the field direction on an unchanged magnetic configuration; compare Fig. 4.

24. Only for the first two data points of the fit in Fig. 2 the deflection exceeds 64 nm. At 64 nm the difference of the two potentials is 7%.
