Abstract—The Gilbert equation of motion is solved to investigate the reversal dynamics of interacting circular NiFe nanoelements. During magnetization reversal of isolated circular nanomagnets inhomogeneous transient states are formed. The exchange energy of the intermediates states, which is a measure for the uniformity of the magnetization, increases with decreasing Gilbert damping constant or increasing applied field. The magnetostatic interactions lead to a further enhancement of the non-uniformity during reversal of interacting nanomagnets
