Thermal stability of a magnetic domain wall in nanowires

Abstract: We study the thermal stability of a magnetic domain wall pinned in nanowires with various widths and thicknesses made of Co/Ni multilayers and analyze the effective volume that governs the thermal stability. We find that, above a critical wire width, the domain wall depinning is initiated by a subvolume excitation and that the critical width is dependent on the wire thickness. The obtained findings are supported by the distribution of critical current density for domain wall depinning and are qualitatively des… Show more

“…To understand these intriguing behaviors, we analyzed the results in more detail. 123) It is known that the energy barrier E for DW depinning is given by 2M S H C0 V eff , 128) where H C0 is the intrinsic critical field, which was found to be inversely proportional to the wire width in our devices. V eff is the effective volume governing E. From the experimentally determined E, M S , and H C0 , V eff was obtained as shown in Fig.…”

“…), we assume that all magnetic regions canted and bus are made of the same Co/Ni multilayers, with the same number of repetitions and the same thickness (2 nm). Such a material stack is known to be perpendicularly magnetized 20 . Therefore, two more steps have to be performed: first, cancel the out-of-plane anisotropy of the canted regions; second, create an in-plane anisotropy along the -axis in these regions.…”

“…It is also possible to create magnetic domains using the magnetic field generated by a conductive wire, where the flow of current generates a magnetic field. [88][89][90][91] In this study, several wires with nucleation pads were fabricated using EBL and a dry etching process. For the large electrodes, photolithography and deposition of Cr/Au were conducted.…”
