Tunable Quantum Tunneling of Magnetic Domain Walls
Perhaps the most anticipated, yet experimentally elusive, macroscopic quantum phenomenon 1 has been spin tunneling in a ferromagnet 2 , which may be formulated in terms of domain wall tunneling 3,4. One approach is to focus on mesoscopic systems where the number of domain walls is finite and the motion of a single wall has measurable consequences. Research of this type includes magnetotransport...
متن کاملSwitchable hardening of a ferromagnet at fixed temperature.
The intended use of a magnetic material, from information storage to power conversion, depends crucially on its domain structure, traditionally crafted during materials synthesis. By contrast, we show that an external magnetic field, applied transverse to the preferred magnetization of a model disordered uniaxial ferromagnet, is an isothermal regulator of domain pinning. At elevated temperature...
متن کاملCurrent-driven dynamics of chiral ferromagnetic domain walls.
In most ferromagnets the magnetization rotates from one domain to the next with no preferred handedness. However, broken inversion symmetry can lift the chiral degeneracy, leading to topologically rich spin textures such as spin spirals and skyrmions through the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). Here we show that in ultrathin metallic ferromagnets sandwiched between a heavy metal and an ...
متن کاملDriven Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling of Ultracold Atoms in Engineered Optical Lattices
– Coherent macroscopic tunneling of a Bose-Einstein condensate between two parts of an optical lattice separated by an energy barrier is theoretically investigated. We show that by a pulsewise change of the barrier height, it is possible to switch between tunneling regime and a self-trapped state of the condensate. This property of the system is explained by effectively reducing the dynamics to...
متن کاملQuantum Interference Control of Ballistic Magneto- resistance in a Magnetic Nanowire Containing Two Atomic- Size Domain Walls
The magnetoresistance of a one-dimensional electron gas in a metallic ferromagnetic nanowire containing two atomic-size domain walls has been investigated in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. The magnetoresistance is calculated in the ballistic regime, within the Landauer-Büttiker formalism. It has been demonstrated that the conductance of a magnetic nanowire with double domain walls...
