We prepare (Co/Pt)n-multilayer wires by means of a two step electron beam lithography process. The magnetization reversal process of (Co/Pt)n-multilayer-wires with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is investigated with an optical Kerr Microscope. Different structures are used so that we can nucleate domain walls in the wire using the application of external magnetic fields. The wires are contacted with nonmagnetic gold wires, which allows us to inject currents into the wire. To move the domain walls we use pulsed currents with current densities of up to 108 A/cm2. Sample heating is controlled my measuring the resistance during the application of the pulses. We carried out experiments as well with additional application of small magnetic fields as without external magnetic field. Results are discussed in terms of the spin-transfer-torque effect.
