Spin wave driven domain wall motion in easy-plane ferromagnets: a particle perspective

Abstract

In easy-plane ferromagnets, we show that the interplay between a domain wall and a spin wave packet can be formulated as the collision of two massive particles with a gravity-like attraction. In the presence of magnetic dissipation, the domain wall mimics a particle subject to viscous friction, while the spin wave packet resembles a particle of variable mass. Due to attractive nature of the interaction, the domain wall acquires a backward displacement as a spin wave packet penetrating the domain wall, even though there is no change in momentum of the wave packet before and after penetration.
