Magnetic configuration (red = down, blue = up) of a strip for every cycle in the propagation sequence. (a) Domain walls successfully being moved to the right, fields strengths H x and H z are 140 mT and 10.4 mT respectively. (b) Domain walls successfully being moved to the right by changing the sign of combined fields, field strengths H x and H z are 140 mT and 9.2 mT respectively). (c) In-plane fields (120 mT) are applied transverse to instead of along the strips, H z = 10.8 mT. (d) Unirradiated strip, field strengths H x = 150 mT and H z = 5.0 mT are used. (e) Sample with top Pt layer grown under higher argon pressure, field strengths H x = 80 mT and H z = 22.8 mT are used. (f) Sample with top Pt layer replaced by Ir, field strengths H x = 160 mT and H z = 8.0 mT are used.
