Influence of Notch Shape and Size on Current-Driven Domain Wall Motions in a Magnetic Nanowire

In this study, the influence of triangle and rectangle notches with various sizes on current-induced domain wall motion has been investigated by utilizing micromagnetic simulation. Each notch plays a role in wall pinning, and the effect of wall pinning increases as the notch size increases. The phase diagram in a critical current density and a critical field for the notch shape is clarified. There are four modes in domain wall depinning by various current densities and magnetic fields.
