Statistics of irreversible displacements of domain walls in nanowires
The process of quasistatic displacement of domain walls is
considered in a nanowire represented as a one-dimensional chain of
ferromagnet crystallites. The domain wall pinning due to spatial
fluctuations of the anisotropy axes is analyzed. Based on the theory
of overshoots of random processes, we have calculated the
distribution functions of the initial susceptibility and of the
maximal force of interaction of the domain wall with inhomogeneities.
These functions are found to be non-Gaussian. We have derived
expressions for the magnetization curve and the coercive force, which
depend on the length of the chain
