Domain wall motion in magnetic nanowires: An asymptotic approach

arXiv:1310.4442 · doi:10.1098/rspa.2013.0308

Abstract

We develop a systematic asymptotic description for domain wall motion in one-dimensional magnetic nanowires under the influence of small applied magnetic fields and currents and small material anisotropy. The magnetization dynamics, as governed by the Landau--Lifshitz--Gilbert equation, is investigated via a perturbation expansion. We compute leading-order behaviour, propagation velocities, and first-order corrections of both travelling waves and oscillatory solutions, and find bifurcations between these two types of solutions. This treatment provides a sound mathematical foundation for numerous results in the literature obtained through more ad hoc arguments.
