Magnetic domain walls displacement : automotion vs. spin-transfer torque

Abstract

The magnetization dynamics equation predicts that a domain wall that changes structure should undergo a displacement by itself - automotion - due to the relaxation of the linear momentum that is associated with the wall structure. We experimentally demonstrate this effect in soft nanostrips,transforming under spin transfer torque a metastable asymmetric transverse wall into a vortex wall. Displacements more than three times as large as under spin transfer torque only are measured for 1~ns pulses. The results are explained by analytical and numerical micromagnetics. Their relevance to domain wall motion under spin transfer torque is emphasized.
