Using micromagnetic simulations, we investigated the magnetic states and switching processes of Co nanorings with lateral dimensions of 200nm. We propose a special geometry of nanorings that adopts different Reuleaux triangular shapes. Reuleaux's triangles (RT) combine both the equilateral triangle and circular geometries. We studied the magnetic spin configurations of individual nanorings by varying the thickness and geometry of the nanomagnets. Our results demonstrated that in most nanomagnets exhibiting a thickness of less than 4nm, there exists an onion-type state, which precedes either a twisted, double twisted, or cardioid state, when studying the magnetization reversal process. The hysteresis loops and magnetic states found in these RTs are compared with circular nanorings.
