Domain wall displacement by remote spin-current injection

We demonstrate numerically the ability to displace a magnetic domain wall by a remote spin current injection. We consider a long and narrow magnetic nanostripe with a single domain wall (DW). The spin-polarized current is injected perpendicularly to the plane of the film (CPP) through a small nanocontact which is located at certain distance from the domain wall initial position. We show theoretically that the DW motion can be initiated not only by conventional spin-transfer torque but also by indirect spin-torque, created by a remote spin-current injection and then transferred to the DW by the exchange-spring mechanism. An analytical description of this effect is proposed. This finding may lead to a solution of bottleneck problems of DW motion-based spintronic and neuromorphic devices with perpendicular spin-current injection.
