Magnetic thin films, typically examined as flat two-dimensional systems, may be extended to the third dimension by deposition of the magnetic material on curved substrates. To experimentally investigate physical effects induced by the geometry and curvature of a thin film magnet, micron-sized curved structures with minimal surface roughness were prepared by optimized two-photon polymerization lithography processes. These structures are deliberately placed with well-defined lateral as well as axial spacing, leading to periodic arrays where, e.g., the influence of varying magnetostatic interactions between the individual objects can be investigated. In this work, the magnetization reversal of periodic arrays of hemispherical tori with varying lattice geometry of the periodic array will be investigated by magneto-optical Kerr magnetometry/microscopy. The experimental results are further compared with micromagnetic simulations.
