Néel walls in soft magnetic NiFe/NiFeGa hybrid stripe structures surrounded by a NiFe film are studied by Lorentz microscopy. Upon downscaling the stripe structure size from 1000 nm to 200 nm a transition from a discrete domain pattern to an effective magnetic medium is observed for external magnetic field reversal experiments. This transition is associated with a vanishing abilitity of hosting neighboring high angle domain walls between adjacent stripes for stripes widths smaller than 500 nm. Furthermore domain walls constricted inside the stripes are characterized concerning the connection between domain wall witdh and domain wall angle. These results are compared with unconstricted domain walls in the surrounding film, theoretical predictions and with micromagnetic simulations.
