Resistivity due to Domain Wall Scattering
Domain walls in ferromagnetic metals are known to be a source of resistance since the early experiments on iron whiskers. Recently it has been possible to identify this contribution from data on cobalt and nickel films which display stripe domains in which the current is driven normal to the domain walls. With the same Hamiltonian as used to explain giant magnetoresistance in structures with co...
متن کاملDomain wall resistivity in SrRuO3.
SrRuO3 is an itinerant ferromagnet with T(c) approximately 150 K. When SrRuO3 is cooled through T(c) in zero applied magnetic field, a stripe domain structure appears whose orientation is uniquely determined by the large uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy. We find that the ferromagnetic domain walls clearly enhance the resistivity of SrRuO3 and that the enhancement has different temperature...
متن کاملDomain wall resistivity in epitaxial thin film
This article reviews our recent experimental studies of domain wall (DW) resistivity in epitaxial transition metal ferromagnetic thin film microstructures with stripe domains. The results are presented and analysed in the context of models of DW scattering and conventional magnetoresistance (MR) effects in ferromagnetic metals. Microstructures of progressively higher magnetic anisotropy and thu...
متن کاملResistivity due to a Domain Wall in Ferromagnetic Metal
The resistivity due to a domain wall in ferromagnetic metallic wire is calculated based on the linear response theory. The interaction between conduction electrons and the wall is expressed in terms of a classical gauge field which is introduced by the local gauge transformation in the electron spin space. It is shown that the wall contributes to the decoherence of electrons and that this quant...
متن کاملNonequilibrium steady state transport via the reduced density matrix operator.
We present a very simple model for numerically describing the steady state dynamics of a system interacting with continua of states representing a bath. Our model can be applied to equilibrium and nonequilibrium problems. For a one-state system coupled to two free electron reservoirs, our results match the Landauer formula for current traveling through a molecule. More significantly, we can als...
