Anisotropic domain wall velocity profiles in the creep regime: the interplay of chiral damping, stiffness and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction
The asymmetric expansion of magnetic bubble domains in ultrathin ferromagnets provides a powerful route to probe the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). While conventional analyses rely on domain wall velocities measured along selected directions as a function of in-plane field, recent approaches have highlighted the additional insight contained in the angular dependence of the velocity, $v(θ)$. Here, we develop an extended angular creep model that incorporates both the dispersive domain wall stiffness and a chirality-dependent prefactor associated with chiral damping. This generalization captures the full anisotropic dynamics of domain wall motion around a bubble domain. We show that these contributions significantly modify the angular velocity profile and can lead to features not accessible within existing models. Our results establish a more complete framework for interpreting creep-driven domain expansion and provide improved sensitivity for the quantitative extraction of DMI and chiral dynamical effects.
