Near-field interaction between domain walls in adjacent Permalloy nanowires.

چکیده
The magnetostatic interaction between two oppositely charged transverse domain walls (TDWs) in adjacent Permalloy nanowires is experimentally demonstrated. The dependence of the pinning strength on wire separation is investigated for distances between 13 and 125 nm. The results can be described fully by considering the distribution of magnetic charge within rigid, isolated TDWs. Alternative DW internal structure cannot reproduce this observed dependence. Modeling suggests the TDW internal structure is not appreciably disturbed, and remains rigid although the pinning strength is significant.

Current-controlled magnetic domain-wall nanowire shift register.
The controlled motion of a series of domain walls along magnetic nanowires using spin-polarized current pulses is the essential ingredient of the proposed magnetic racetrack memory, a new class of potential non-volatile storage-class memories. Using permalloy nanowires, we achieved the successive creation, motion, and detection of domain walls by using sequences of properly timed, nanosecond-lo...
متن کاملMechanism for domain wall pinning and potential landscape modification by artificially patterned traps in ferromagnetic nanowires
The interaction mechanism between transverse domain walls TDWs in Permalloy nanowires and artificially patterned traps is studied using high-sensitivity spatially resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements and numerical simulations. T-shaped trap geometries are considered, where a DW traveling in the horizontal arm is pinned by the vertical arm. Pinning strengths as well as potential ene...
متن کاملDepinning of domain walls in permalloy nanowires with asymmetric notches
Effective control of the domain wall (DW) motion along the magnetic nanowires is of great importance for fundamental research and potential application in spintronic devices. In this work, a series of permalloy nanowires with an asymmetric notch in the middle were fabricated with only varying the width (d) of the right arm from 200 nm to 1000 nm. The detailed pinning and depinning processes of ...
متن کاملImaging of domain wall inertia in Permalloy half-ring nanowires by time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy.
Using photoemission electron microscopy, we image the dynamics of a field pulse excited domain wall in a Permalloy nanowire. We find a delay in the onset of the wall motion with respect to the excitation and an oscillatory relaxation of the domain wall back to its equilibrium position, defined by an external magnetic field. The origin of both of these inertia effects is the transfer of energy b...
متن کاملMeasuring domain wall fidelity lengths using a chirality filter.
The motion of transverse domain walls (DWs) in thin Permalloy nanowires has been studied by locally detecting the chirality of the moving DW, using a cross-shaped trap acting as a chirality filter. We find that structural changes of the DW occur over a characteristic minimum distance: the "DW fidelity length." The measured field dependence of the fidelity length is in good qualitative agreement...
