Electric Control of Multiple Domain Walls in Pt/Co/Pt Nanotrack with Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Electric control of multiple domain walls (DWs) motion is demonstrated by Pt/Co/Pt nanotracks with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Due to the weak microstructural disorders with small DW propagation field, the purely current-driven DW motion is achieved in the creep regime at current densities less than 10^7 A/cm^2 at room temperature. It is confirmed that by use of a scanning magneto-optical Kerr effect microscope, several DWs are simultaneously and identically displaced by the same distance in the same direction. Utilizing such DWs motion, we succeed to realize random bits writing and transferring as a device prototype of four-bit shift registers.
