Figure 3

Current driven DW dynamics along a rough ( ) strip with . Micromagnetically ( ) computed temporal evolution of the DW position under three different density currents: (a) , (b) and (c) for a nonadiabatic parameter of . Blue-dashed lines correspond to the deterministic case ( ), whereas red-solid lines correspond to ten stochastic realizations at room temperature ( ). (d)–(g) show typical micromagnetic states of the propagating DW along a rough strip at room temperature. (h) Time-averaged DW velocity as function of for three different values of the nonadiabatic parameter: , , and . Open-dots correspond to results (with indication of the standard deviation), whereas solid symbols are the predictions from the 1 DM with , , and a periodic pinning potential given by with and . The inset shows the results around between and (Reprinted with permission From [70]. Copyright (2012), American Institute of Physics).
