Current induced domain wall dynamics in the presence of a transverse magnetic field in out-of-plane magnetized materials

An analytical model was developped to describe the current induced DW dynamics of a Bloch DW in the presence of an external transverse magnetic field. The model takes into account the DW deformation and the magnetization tilting in the domain. The model is compared to the results of micromagnetic simulation and an excellent agreement is obtained. In the steady state regime, the model shows that the domain tilting does not change the DW mobility. An external or current induced transverse magnetic field such as the Oersted or Rashba field can prevent the Walker breakdown leading to a higher domain wall velocity.

Spin-current vortices in current-perpendicular-to-plane nanoconstricted spin-valves

The charge and spin diffusion equations taking into account spin-flip and spin-transfer torque were numerically solved using a finite element method in complex non-collinear geometry with strongly inhomogeneous current flow. As an illustration, spin-dependent transport through a non-magnetic nanoconstriction separating two magnetic layers was investigated. Unexpected results such as vortices of spin-currents in the vicinity of the nanoconstriction were obtained. The angular variations of magnetoresistance and spin-transfer torque are strongly influenced by the structure geometry.

Dimensionality cross-over in magnetism: from domain walls (2D) to vortices (1D)

Dimensionality cross-over is a classical topic in physics. Surprisingly it has not been searched in micromagnetism, which deals with objects such as domain walls (2D) and vortices (1D). We predict by simulation a second-order transition between these two objects, with the wall length as the Landau parameter. This was conrmed experimentally based on micron-sized ux-closure dots.

Finite Element Modeling of Charge and Spin-currents in Magnetoresistive Pillars with Current Crowding Effects

The charge and spin diffusion equations taking into account spin-flip and spin-transfer torque were numerically solved using a finite element method in complex non-collinear geometry. This approach was used to study the spin-dependent transport in giant magnetoresistance metallic pillars sandwiched between extended electrodes as in magnetoresistive heads for hard disk drives. The charge current crowding around the boundaries between the electrodes and the pillar has a quite significant influence on the spin current.
