We demonstrated the domain wall motion along the direction of the perimeter of a permalloy ring
in the onion state. From the magnetoresistance (MR) measurement with a rotating ring at different constant
fields, the critical field to form the onion state is near 200 Gauss and the lowest field that can still drag the
domain wall is between 20 and 10 Gauss. The results also revealed a tendency for angle shifting and
indicated that the lowest field component in the perimeter direction (the tangential component) was near 10
Gauss at an applied field of 20 Gauss.
