Domain-wall dynamics in 4C pyrrhotite at low temperature

Bubble Wall Dynamics at Finite Temperature {

Cosmological phase transitions may have played important roles in shaping the present Universe. If the transition is of the rst order, it proceeds with the nucleation of new-phase bubbles and their growth. The details of the bubble dynamics can aaect the consequencies of the phase transition. For example, baryogenesis in the course of the electroweak phase transition is known to depend on the b...

Dynamics of Domain Wall Networks

Networks or webs of domain walls are admitted in Abelian or non-Abelian gauge theory coupled to fundamental Higgs fields with complex masses. We examine the dynamics of the domain wall loops by using the moduli approximation and find a phase rotation induces a repulsive force which can be understood as a Noether charge of Q-solitons. Non-Abelian gauge theory allows different types of loops whic...

Metastable magnetic domain wall dynamics

The dynamics of metastable magnetic domain walls in straight ferromagnetic nanowires under spin waves, external magnetic fields and currentinduced spin-transfer torque are studied by means of micromagnetic simulations. It is found that in contrast to a stable wall, it is possible to displace a metastable domain wall in the absence of external excitation. In addition, independent of the domain w...

Domain Wall Dynamics in Magnetic Nanostructures

Magnetic diffusion anomaly at the Néel temperature of pyrrhotite, Fe(1-x)S.

Cation diffusion is an important rate-limiting process in the growth of pyrrhotite (Fe1-xS) in passivating films on steels exposed to sulfidic environments, and for proposed synthetic applications of Fe1-xS, for example single-phase magnetic switching devices. Above the Néel temperature TN of 315 °C, where Fe1-xS is paramagnetic and structurally disordered, iron self-diffusivity *DFe predictabl...
