Enhanced Domain Wall Motion in the Spin Valve Nanowires

Abstract

According to the recent experiment by the Fert group, the velocity of domain wall motion in the spin valve ferromagnetic nanowires was almost doubly enhanced compared to the old value. In this work, we propose an additional torque model, arising from the interlayer exchange interaction, which can enhance or suppress the domain wall velocity depending on the sign of the exchange constant or the wall motion direction relative to the magnetization orientation of the fixed layer.
