Magnetic domain wall propagation in nanowires under transverse magnetic fields
Instability in magnetic domain walls (DWs) in magnetic nanowires, referred to as “Walker breakdown”, changes DW structure and slows DW motion. This was the first paper to study how magnetic fields applied transverse to (in addition to along) nanowires affect DW motion and, crucially, predicted that these fields can suppress Walker breakdown altogether. Subsequent experiments confirmed our micromagnetic modelling predictions (e.g. http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2975181; http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3428367; http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.81.020412; arXiv:1103.6056v1). This paper has inspired dozens of groups studying nanoscale DW dynamics and is an important aspect of the operation of a rotation sensor produced by Novotechnik (DOI:10.1063/1.2993329, 10.1109/TMAG.2009.2024426; www.novotechnik.com/papers/papers-pdf/MultiturnWhitePaperV4.pdf).
