The static magnetic domain configuration in square- and ring-shape structures is investigated by direct high-resolution x-ray magnetic microscopy as a function of temperature and geometrical parameters. We show that the magnetic configurations evolve from multidomain to flux-closure states with decreasing element size, with a thickness-dependent crossover at the micrometric scale. The flux-closure states are stable against thermal excitations up to near the Curie temperature. Through magnetotransport experiments on half-ring structures we investigate the dynamic properties of transversal domain wall depinning by current pulse injection.
