Engineering Planar Transverse Domain Walls in Biaxial Magnetic Nanostrips by Tailoring Transverse Magnetic Fields with Uniform Orientation

Abstract

Designing and realizing various magnetization textures in magnetic nanostructures are essential for developing novel magnetic nanodevices in the modern information industry. Among all these textures, planar transverse domain walls (pTDWs) are the simplest and the most basic, which make them popular in device physics. In this work, we report the engineering of pTDWs with arbitrary tilting attitude in biaxial magnetic nanostrips by transverse magnetic field profiles with uniform orientation but tuneable strength distribution. Both statics and axial-field-driven dynamics of these pTDWs are analytically investigated. It turns out that, for statics, these pTDWs are robust against disturbances which are not too abrupt, while for dynamics, it can be tailored to acquire higher velocity than Walker’s ansatz predicts. These results should provide inspiration for designing magnetic nanodevices with novel one-dimensional magnetization textures, such as 360 ∘ walls, or even two-dimensional ones, such as vortices and skyrmions.
