Analysis Of Measured Transport Properties Of Domain Walls In Magnetic Nanowires And Films
Existing data for soft magnetic materials of critical current for domain-wall
motion, wall speed driven by a magnetic field, and wall electrical resistance,
show that all three observable properties are related through a single
parameter: the wall mobility . The reciprocal of represents the
strength of viscous friction between domain wall and conduction-electron gas.
And is a function of the wall width, which depends in turn on the aspect
ratio t/w, where t and w are the thickness and width of the sample. Over four
orders of magnitude of , the data for nanowires show . This dependence is in approximate agreement with the prediction
of the 1984 Berger theory based on s-d exchange. On the other hand, it is
inconsistent with the prediction of the 2004 Tatara and Kohno theory, and of
the 2004 Zhang and Li theory.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure; submitted to Phys. Rev.
