Very large domain wall velocities in Pt/Co/Gd trilayers with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Abstract

We carried out measurements of domain wall (DW) velocities driven by magnetic field pulses in symmetric Pt/Co/Pt and asymmetric Pt/Co/AlOx, Pt/Co/GdOx and Pt/Co/Gd trilayers with ultrathin Co layers and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. In agreement with theoretical models, the maximum observed velocity is much larger in the asymmetric samples, where the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) stabilises chiral Néel walls, than in the symmetric stack. In addition, in Pt/Co/Gd very large DW speeds (up to 600 m/s) are obtained, 2.5 times larger than in samples with oxidised Gd. Magnetic measurements reveal that this may be explained by the anti-parallel coupling between the magnetic moments of Gd and Co at the Gd/Co interface, leading to a decrease of the total magnetisation. In quantitative agreement with analytical models, in all samples the maximum observed DW speed scales as D=Ms, where D is the strength of the DMI and Ms the spontaneous magnetisation.
