We have studied the remanent state and the remagnetization behavior of periodic arrays of rectangular shaped Py magnetic dipoles (Ni80Fe20, 0.3µm×3µm×30nm) arranged in an open window type structure. The magnetic islands were prepared by e-beam lithography and ion-beam etching. The magnetic hysteresis was analyzed by vector MOKE and SQUID magnetometry. Images of the domain structure in remanence were taken by MFM. The open window like dipole array is a frustrated system, and several ground states can be realized, such as the onion-state, the horseshoe-state and the vortex state. The aim of the present work was to analyze the stability of each of the states as a function of field direction and gap size between the dipoles. Furthermore, we have studied the long range order of the magnetic dipole arrangement via Bragg-MOKE.
