Abstract

We report micromagnetic modeling results of current induced domain wall (DW) motion in magnetic devices with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy by solving the LandauLifschitzGilbert equation including adiabatic and non-adiabatic terms. A nanostripe model system with dimensions of 500 nm (L)×25 nm (W)×5 nm (H) was selected for calculating the DW motion and its width, as a function of various parameters such as non-adiabatic contribution, anisotropy constant (K_u), saturation magnetization (M_s), and temperature (T). The DW velocity was found to increase when the values of K_u and T were increased and the M_s value decreased. In addition, a reduction of the domain wall width could be achieved by increasing K_u and lowering M_s values regardless of the non-adiabatic constant value.
