Superconducting magnetoresistance effect observed in Co/Nb/Co trilayers under a parallel magnetic field: The importance of matching the width of magnetic domain walls of the Co layers with the thickness of the Nb interlayer

We show that a type of magnetic domain walls (DWs) can be monitored by anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) measurements due to a specific DW volume depending on the DW type in NiFe magnetic wires. A circular DW injection pad is used to generate DWs at a low magnetic field, resulting in reliable DW introduction into magnetic wires. DW pinning is induced by a change of DW energy at an asymmetric single notch. The injection of DW from the circular pad and its pinning at the notch is observed by using AMR and magnetic force microscope (MFM) measurements. A four-point probe AMR measurement allows us to distinguish the DW type in the switching process because DWs are pinned at the single notch, where voltage probes are closely placed around the notch. Two types of AMR behavior are observed in the AMR measurements, which is owing to a change of DW structures. MFM images and micromagnetic simulations are consistent with the AMR results.

Changes in 70.53° magnetic domain structure on the surface of a perfect (11̄0) nickel crystal have been observed using white synchrotron X-radiation topography. The crystal was influenced by a variable [11̄0] magnetic field. At field strengths ≿ 100 A/m [111̄]-spike domains, thought to be traces of [011], 70.53° (oblique) magnetic domain walls, appeared within [111]-bands (0.4 mm wide) in the topographs. Reversal of the field produced similar spikes at equivalent field values but in different regions of the crystal.

Oscillating Magnetic Field

The results of study of domain walls oscillations in harmonic magnetic field H = H0sin (2πft) oriented perpendicular to ferrite garnet (TbErGd)3(FeAl)5O12 (111) sample plate for amplitudes that include the drift of domain walls are reported. Numerical modelling of domain walls motion was performed for frequencies f~102 Hz, where the drift is observed experimentally. Comparison of results of numerical modelling with experimental results shows their qualitative agreement. It was established that domain walls oscillations amplitude is a linear function of amplitude of oscillating magnetic field.

Magnetic Domain Walls

A pair of magnetic domain walls (DWs) in ferromagnetic NiFe rings has been investigated in terms of the magnetic force microscopy (MFM). When the distance between the rings d is greater than a threshold value dth, MFM signals indicate that a DW in the ring is dragged due to a stray magnetic field from an MFM probe tip. When d < dth, this drag signals disappears; DWs are bound to each other by the DW-DW interaction. This transition can be argued in terms of the competition between the DW-DW magnetostatic interaction and the DW-drag potential. From the d-dependent MFM data, the DW-drag potential was estimated.
