Domain wall mobility in nanowires: transverse versus vortex walls
The motion of domain walls in ferromagnetic, cylindrical nanowires is
investigated numerically by solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for a
classical spin model in which energy contributions from exchange, crystalline
anisotropy, dipole-dipole interaction, and a driving magnetic field are
considered. Depending on the diameter, either transverse domain walls or vortex
walls are found. The transverse domain wall is observed for diameters smaller
than the exchange length of the given material. Here, the system behaves
effectively one-dimensional and the domain wall mobility agrees with a result
derived for a one-dimensional wall by Slonczewski. For low damping the domain
wall mobility decreases with decreasing damping constant. With increasing
diameter, a crossover to a vortex wall sets in which enhances the domain wall
mobility drastically. For a vortex wall the domain wall mobility is described
by the Walker-formula, with a domain wall width depending on the diameter of
the wire. The main difference is the dependence on damping: for a vortex wall
the domain wall mobility can be drastically increased for small values of the
damping constant up to a factor of .Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
Studying the Lunar-Solar Wind Interaction with the SARA Experiment aboard the Indian Lunar Mission Chandrayaan-1
The first Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan-1 was launched on 22 October 2008.
The Sub-keV Atom Reflecting Analyzer (SARA) instrument onboard Chandrayaan-1
consists of an energetic neutral atom (ENA) imaging mass analyzer called CENA
(Chandrayaan-1 Energetic Neutrals Analyzer), and an ion-mass analyzer called
SWIM (Solar wind Monitor). CENA performed the first ever experiment to study
the solar wind-planetary surface interaction via detection of sputtered neutral
atoms and neutralized backscattered solar wind protons in the energy range
~0.01-3.0 keV. SWIM measures solar wind ions, magnetosheath and magnetotail
ions, as well as ions scattered from lunar surface in the ~0.01-15 keV energy
range. The neutral atom sensor uses conversion of the incoming neutrals to
positive ions, which are then analyzed via surface interaction technique. The
ion mass analyzer is based on similar principle. This paper presents the SARA
instrument and the first results obtained by the SWIM and CENA sensors. SARA
observations suggest that about 20% of the incident solar wind protons are
backscattered as neutral hydrogen and ~1% as protons from the lunar surface.
These findings have important implications for other airless bodies in the
solar system.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure
Protons in the near-lunar wake observed by the Sub-keV Atom Reflection Analyzer on board Chandrayaan-1
Significant proton fluxes were detected in the near wake region of the Moon
by an ion mass spectrometer on board Chandrayaan-1. The energy of these
nightside protons is slightly higher than the energy of the solar wind protons.
The protons are detected close to the lunar equatorial plane at a
solar zenith angle, i.e., ~50 behind the terminator at a height of
100 km. The protons come from just above the local horizon, and move along the
magnetic field in the solar wind reference frame. We compared the observed
proton flux with the predictions from analytical models of an electrostatic
plasma expansion into a vacuum. The observed velocity was higher than the
velocity predicted by analytical models by a factor of 2 to 3. The simple
analytical models cannot explain the observed ion dynamics along the magnetic
field in the vicinity of the Moon.Comment: 28 pages, 7 figure
