摘要: The controlled nucleation and propagation of magnetic domain walls in ultrathin ferromagnetic wires, such as nanowires submicrometer is extremely important for the development new high performance wall logic devices. Therefore, it equally essential to possess adequate advanced experimental investigation techniques order be able achieve a comprehensive situ analysis many possible parameters related propagation, e.g., shape besides velocity position. In this paper, we report on method developed specifically propagating i.e., with diameter wire range 100–950 nm. newly based simultaneous use two full-fledged techniques: magneto-optical Kerr effect analyzing surface effects passing Sixtus-Tonks in...
