Domain-wall complexes in ferromagnetic stripes
arXiv:1201.5760 · doi:10.12693/APhysPolA.124.641
Abstract
Interaction of domain walls (DWs) in ferromagnetic stripes is studied with relevance to the formation of stable complexes of many domains. Two DW system is described with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation including regimes of narrow and wide stripes which correspond the presence of transverse and vortex DWs. The DWs of both kinds are characterized with their chiralities (the direction of the magnetization rotation in the stripe plane) and polarities (the magnetization orientation in the center of a vortex and/or halfvortices), hence, their interactions are analyzed with dependence on these properties. In particular, pairs of the DWs of opposite or like both chiralities and polarities are investigated as well as pairs of opposite (like) chiralities and of like (opposite) polarities. Conditions of the creation of stationary magnetic bubbles built of two interacting DWs are formulated with relevance to the situations of presence and absence of the external magnetic field.
