Chirality-induced zigzag domain wall in in-plane magnetized ultrathin films
نویسندگان
چکیده
The domain structure in in-plane magnetized Fe/Ni/W(110) films is investigated using spin-polarized low-energy electron microscopy. A novel transition of the wall shape from a zigzag-like pattern to straight observed as function film thickness, which triggered by type out-of-plane chiral N\'eel wall. contribution Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction energy proposed explain shape, supported Monte-Carlo simulations.

Out-of-plane chiral domain wall spin-structures in ultrathin in-plane magnets
Chiral spin textures in ultrathin films, such as skyrmions or chiral domain walls, are believed to offer large performance advantages in the development of novel spintronics technologies. While in-plane magnetized films have been studied extensively as media for current- and field-driven domain wall dynamics with applications in memory or logic devices, the stabilization of chiral spin textures...

متن کاملCoercivity of Ultrathin Films With In-Plane Magnetization
We report numerical and analytic results for a model of coercivity and magnetization reversal in an array of square monolayer-height magnetic islands on a monolayer of magnetic material with in-plane magnetization. Reversal nucleates at step edges where local two-fold anisotropy is present in addition to the intrinsic four-fold anisotropy of the (001) flat surface of a cubic crystal. Simple ana...
متن کاملPlane Symmetric Domain Wall in Lyra Geometry
In this paper general solutions are found for domain walls in Lyra geometry in the plane symmetric spacetime metric given by Taub. Expressions for the energy density and pressure of domain walls are derived in both cases of uniform and time varying displacement field β. It is also shown that the results obtained by Rahaman et al [IJMPD, 10, 735 (2001)] are particular case of our solutions. Fina...
متن کاملNanoscale domain patterns in ultrathin polymer ferroelectric films.
High-resolution studies of domain configurations in Langmuir-Blodgett films of ferroelectric polymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene), P(VDF-TrFE), have been carried out by means of piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). Changes in film thickness and morphology cause significant variations in polarization patterns. In continuous films and nanomesas with relatively low thickness/grain ...
