Domain Wall Propagation
In magnetism a domain wall is an interface separating magnetic domains.
Domain wall propagation. The domain wall thickness depends on the anisotropy of the material but on average spans across around 100 150 atoms. Spin waves propagating across a domain wall experience a scattering potential. It is a transition between different magnetic moments and usually undergoes an angular displacement of 90 or 180.
3 3 spin wave propagation across the domain wall. A domain wall is a gradual reorientation of individual moments across a finite distance. Domain wall propagation in cylindrical nanowires with modulations of diameter is a key phenomenon to design physics oriented devices or a disruptive three dimensional magnetic memory.
