We demonstrate current induced domain wall depinning and phase transitions in non-local spin valve Permalloy/Aluminium half ring structures. With our optimized geometry by patterning a notch acting as a pinning center in one half ring, we are to able study the influence of Oersted fields, Joule heating and the spin transfer torque. We find a complete depinning event at zero applied external field for a charge current density of 600 GA/m^2, showing that our geometry can be used for low power domain wall manipulation.
