Dhesi Physical Review B 82 (9) DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.82.094445 Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: Domain wall (DW) depinning and motion in the viscous regime induced by magnetic fields, are investigated in planar permalloy nanowires in which the Gilbert damping is tuned in the range 0.008–0.26 by doping with Ho. Real time, spatially resolved magneto-optic Kerr effect measurements yield depinning field distributions and DW mobilities. Depinning occurs at discrete values of the field which are correlated with different metastable DW states and changed by the doping. For α<0.033, the DW mobilities are smaller than expected while for α>=0.033, there is agreement between the measured DW mobilities and those predicted by the standard one-dimensional model of field-induced DW motion. Micromagnetic simulations indicate that this is because as increases, the DW spin structure becomes increasingly rigid. Only when the damping is large can he DW be approximated as a pointlike quasiparticle that exhibits the simple translational motion predicted in the viscous regime. When the damping is small, the DW spin structure undergoes periodic distortions that lead to a velocity reduction. We therefore show that Ho doping of permalloy nanowires enables engineering of the DW depinning and mobility, as well as the extent of the viscous regime.	Sep 2010
I06-Nanoscience	Scaling of spin relaxation and angular momentum dissipation in permalloy nanowires T. Moore , M. Klaui , L. Heyne , P. Mohrke , D. Backes , J. Rhensius , U. Rudiger , L. Heyderman , J.-U. Thiele , G. Wolterstorf , C. Back , A. Fraile Rodriquez , F. Nolting , T. Mentes , M. Nino , A. Locatelli , S. S. Dhesi , S. Cavill , H. Marchetto , A. Potenza Physical Review B 80 (13), 132403 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.80.132403 Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: We study the relationship between the damping (alpha) and the nonadiabaticity of the spin transport (beta) in permalloy nanowires. alpha is engineered by Ho doping, and from the characteristics of the current-induced domain-wall velocity, determined by high-resolution x-ray magnetic circular-dichroism photoemission electron microscopy, beta due to spin relaxation is measured. We find that beta scales with alpha and conclude that the spin relaxation that leads to nonadiabatic spin torque originates from the same underlying mechanism as the angular momentum dissipation that causes viscous damping.
