42. A modulation in (Equation presented) originating from the rotation of magnetization of the Co electrodes (angles (Equation presented) from the easy axis defined by the shape anisotropy) would be given by (Equation presented)NL∝cosθ, where θ is the relative angle between Co magnetizations. The observed ∼8% modulation would correspond to θ ∼ 23°. Since (Equation presented) in the P case, whereas in the AP case (Equation presented), this would lead to a different amplitude modulation not observed in our experiment. Only in the special case where the narrower electrode does not rotate at all (Equation presented) would the modulations corresponding to the P and AP cases be identical. The wider electrode should then rotate as much as (Equation presented), which has been ruled out by MOKE microscopy as described in Ref. [37].
