13. This approach to induce the domain wall nucleation in one end of a magnetic wire is usual in glass-covered magnetic microwires for domain wall propagation studies (Sixtus-Tonks experiment). Several works have been published on that field (for example, R. Varga, A. Zhukov, V. Zhukova, J. M. Blanco, and J. Gonzalez, Phys. Rev. B 76, 132406 (2007).). 10.1103/PhysRevB.76.132406
