Locally induced domain wall damping in a thin magnetic wire
نویسندگان
چکیده
The damping mechanisms affecting the motion of a single domain wall were studied in a thin bistable magnetic wire. It was found that the overall damping is frequency and temperature dependent through the locally induced anisotropy via structural relaxation. This phenomenon can increase the overall damping by one order of magnitude and enables an effective tailoring of the domain wall dynamics according to required application. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.

Domain wall mobility in nanowires: Transverse versus vortex walls
The motion of domain walls in ferromagnetic, cylindrical nanowires is investigated numerically by solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for a classical spin model in which energy contributions from exchange, crystalline anisotropy, dipole-dipole interaction, and a driving magnetic field are considered. Depending on the diameter, either transverse domain walls or vortex walls are found. T...
متن کاملPhenomenology of current-induced dynamics in antiferromagnets.
We derive a phenomenological theory of current-induced staggered magnetization dynamics in antiferromagnets. The theory captures the reactive and dissipative current-induced torques and the conventional effects of magnetic fields and damping. A Walker ansatz describes the dc current-induced domain-wall motion when there is no dissipation. If magnetic damping and dissipative torques are included...
متن کاملDomain wall propagation through spin wave emission.
We theoretically study field-induced domain wall motion in an electrically insulating ferromagnet with hard- and easy-axis anisotropies. Domain walls can propagate along a dissipationless wire through spin wave emission locked into the known soliton velocity at low fields. In the presence of damping, the usual Walker rigid-body propagation mode can become unstable for a magnetic field smaller t...
متن کاملCurrent-induced domain wall motion with adiabatic and nonadiabatic spin torques in magnetic nanowires
We investigate current-driven domain wall (DW) propagation in magnetic nanowires in the framework of the modified Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with both adiabatic and nonadiabatic spin torque (AST and NAST) terms. By employing a simple analytical model, we can demonstrate the essential physics that any small current density can drive the DW motion along a uniaxial anisotropy nanowire even i...
متن کاملDomain Wall Propagation in Bistable Amorphous Microwires
Tendency on miniaturization of the modern magnetic sensors and devices stimulates development of such magnetic materials with reduced dimensionality. Therefore magnetic materials with outstanding magnetic characteristics and reduced dimensionality recently gained much attention. Consequently thin wire with reduced geometrical dimensions (of order of 1-30 μm in diameter) gained importance within...
