Thermally Assisted Current-Driven Domain-Wall Motion

Thermally assisted current-driven skyrmion motion

We study the behavior of skyrmions in thin films under the action of stochastic torques arising from thermal fluctuations. We find that the Brownian motion of skyrmions is described by a stochastic Thiele’s equation and its corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. The resulting Fokker-Planck equation is recognized as the one for a high-friction Brownian particle which has been studied extensively ...

Inertia-Free Thermally Driven Domain-Wall Motion in Antiferromagnets.

Domain-wall motion in antiferromagnets triggered by thermally induced magnonic spin currents is studied theoretically. It is shown by numerical calculations based on a classical spin model that the wall moves towards the hotter regions, as in ferromagnets. However, for larger driving forces the so-called Walker breakdown-which usually speeds down the wall-is missing. This is due to the fact tha...

Current-Driven Domain Wall Motion: Velocity, Current and Phase Transition

The relation between domain wall motion and intensity of driven current is examined in a phenomenological theory where the kinetic energy is expanded as a series of polynomial function of current density just as the Landau phase transition theory. The dependency of velocity on current density is square root which degenerates into linear if the current is much higher than the critical value. The...

Thermally Assisted Current-Driven Dynamics in Asymmetric Spin Valves

Current-induced steady precessional modes in standard spin valves are usually excited as an interplay of spin-transfer torque, Gilbert damping, and external magnetic field. We propose an asymmetric spin valve, in which the spin current can excite stationary precessional modes also at zero external magnetic field. We also show that finite temperature can induce transitions between different dyna...
