Dynamics of multiple transverse walls (TWs) in a magnetic nanostripe is studied by micromagnetic simulations. It shows that, when TWs are arranged in a stripe with same orientation, they will attract each other and finally annihilate. However, when adjacent TWs are arranged with opposite orientation, a metastable complex wall can be formed, e.g., two TWs lead to 360 degrees wall. For three or more TWs, the formed complex wall includes a number of 360 degrees substructures, which is called multiple 360 degrees structure (M360S) here. The M360S itself may be used to store multiple logical data since each 360 degrees substructure can act as logical "0" or "1". On the other hand, the M360S may behave like single TW under an applied current, namely, the M360S can be driven steadily by current like that of single TW. A parity effect of the number of 360 degrees substructures on the critical current for the annihilation is found. Namely, when the number is odd or even, the critical current increase or decrease with the increasing of the number, respectively. The parity effect is relevant to the out-of-plane magnetic moment of the M360S. (C) 2015 Author(s).
