Magnetic cocoons are ellipsoid-shaped 3D structures, that have been recently observed in aperiodic multilayers where magnetic interactions are varied along the thickness. Here we report the feasibility of the production of these cocoons using nanosecond current pulses in Pt/Co/Al aperiodic multilayer system. The images obtained using Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy also show other complex spin textures when stronger pulses are applied. Simulations show that these current pulses heat up the system. It also creates an Oersted field in addition to the applied magnetic field.The magnetic field-temperature phase diagram can be thus obtained from such images. The measurements lead to the conclusion that the magnetic field and temperature aid the system to a fluctuation state where the cocoons are nucleated.
