The permalloy structures consist of rectangular-shaped walls around a square open space. While measuring their magnetic properties using the Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (MOKE), in some angular regions an exchange bias (EB) seemed to appear. This paper gives an overview of possible reasons for this {\textquotedblleft}pseudo exchange bias{\textquotedblright} and shows experimentally and by means of micromagnetic simulations that this effect can be attributed to unintentionally measuring minor loops.}, year = {2016}, journal = {Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials}, volume = {412}, pages = {7{\textendash}10}, doi = { 10.1016/j.jmmm.2016.03.071}, language = {eng}, }
