DW annhilation in wires

Annihilation of domain walls in a ferromagnetic wire.
Anirban Ghosh, Kevin S. Huang, and Oleg Tchernyshyov
Several configurations of a pair of domain walls with shown values of separation ζ and twist φ. The red and blue colors denote positive and negative magnetization component mz along the axis of the cylinder. The wire frames depict the local plane tangential to the magnetization field. Spheres on the right show the path of the magnetization field m(z) as z goes from −∞ to +∞, beginning from and ending at the north pole (red). The south pole (blue) can only be reached if the separation of the domain walls ζ=∞.

Cristiano Nisoli, Nathaniel M. Gabor, Paul E. Lammert, J. D. Maynard, and Vincent H. Crespi
Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 186103 (2009)
A specimen of Mammillaria elongata displaying a helical morphology ubiquitous to nature, a magnetic cactus of dipoles on stacked bearings, and a schematic of a wrapped Bravais lattice showing the angular offset (screw angle) and the axial separation a between particles.
