Domain wall motion in ferromagnetic nanotubes: Analytic results

Abstract

Dynamics of magnetization domain walls (DWs) in thin ferromagnetic nanotubes subject to longitudinal external fields is addressed analytically in the regimes of strong and weak penalization. Explicit functional forms of the DW profiles and formulas for the DW propagation velocity are derived in both regimes. In particular, the DW speed is shown to depend nonlinearly on the nanotube radius.
