Antiferromagnetic Bloch line driven by spin current as room-temperature analog of a fluxon in a long Josephson junction

Abstract
Antiferromagnets (AFMs) are promising materials for future high-frequency field-free spintronic applications. Self-localized spin structures can enhance their capabilities and introduce new functionalities to AFM-based devices. Here we consider a domain wall (DW), a topological soliton that bridges a connection between two ground states, similar to a Josephson junction (JJ) link between two superconductors. We demonstrate the similarities between DWs in bi-axial AFM with easy-axis primary anisotropy, driven by a spin current, and long Josephson junctions (LJJs). We found that the Bloch line (BL) in DWs resembles the fluxon state of JJs, creating a close analogy between the two systems. We propose a scheme that allows us to create, move, read, and delete such BLs. This transmission line operates at room temperature and can be dynamically reconfigured in contrast to superconductors. Results of a developed model were confirmed by micromagnetic simulations for CrO and DyFeO, i.e., correspondingly with weak and strong in-plane anisotropy. Overall, the proposed scheme has significant potential for use in magnetic memory and logic devices.
