Domain wall dynamics in thin film of amorphous Rare Earth-Transistion Metal alloys were investigated using numerical integration of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. The thin film was divided into a two-dimensional square lattice ($30\times30$) of dipoles. Nearest-neighbor exchange interaction magnetic anisotropy, applied magnetic field, and demagnetiing field of interacting anisotropy, applied magnetic field, and demagnetizing field of interacting dipoles were considered. It was assumed that the film had perfect uniaxial anisotropy in the perpendicular direction and the magnetization reversal existed in the film. The time of domain wall creation and the thickness of the wall were investigated. Also the motion of domain walls under an applied field was considered. Simulation results showed that the time of domain wall creation was decreased significantly and the average velocity of domain wall was increased somewhat when the demagnetizing field was considered.

The study of magnetic properties of ferro and ferri-magnetic materials has shown that, due to their different time constants, magnetisation mechanisms (domain wall displacement, spin rotation and wall bulging) can be separated by using the complex permeability formalisms, they exhibit characteristic features in $\mu$′ versus $\mu$" plots. In many cases. the elements (inductances, resistances and capacitances) of the equivalent circuit representing the friquency behaviour, can also be associated with physical parameters of the sample [1-3]. In a different approach, domain wall dynamics can be represented by a motion equation with mass, damping and restoring force terms [4]. In this paper, we show that these two approaches are consistent and how they are related.

Dynamic behaviors of transverse domain walls (TDWs) in rectangular shaped thin-film magnetic nanowires with different widths under applied magnetic fields less than the Walker field were studied by micromagnetic simulations. It was found that the velocity of stable TDWs in the viscous region increases from 147 to 419 m/s and their mass decreases from $6.24{\times}10^{-23}\;to\;2.70{\times}10^{-23}kg$ with increasing strength of the applied magnetic field ranging from 5 to 20 Oe for the nanowire with a dimension of 10 nm in thickness and $5{\mu}m$ in length, and 50 nm in width. With increasing the width of nanowires from 50 to 125 nm at a specific field strength of 5 Oe, the TDW's velocity also increases from 147 to 246 m/s and its mass decreases from $6.24{\times}10^{-23}\;to\;5.91{\times}10^{-23}kg$.

This paper addresses the development of inverse compensation techniques for a class of ferromagnetic transducers including magnetostrictive actuators. In this work, hysteresis is modeled through the domain wall theory originally proposed by Jiles and Atherton[1]. This model is based on the quantification of the energy required to translate domain walls pinned at inclusions in the material with the magnetization at a given field level specified through the solution of an ordinary differential equation. A complementary differential equation is then employed to compute the inverse which can be used to compensate for hysteresis and nonlinear dynamics in control design.

Herein, different concepts for domain wall propagation based on currents and fields that could potentially be used in magnetic data storage devices based on domains and domain walls are reviewed. By direct imaging, we show that vortex and transverse walls can be displaced using currents due to the spin transfer torque effect. For the case of field-induced wall motion, particular attention is paid to the influence of localized fields and local heating on the depinning and propagation of domain walls. Using an Au nanowire adjacent to a permalloy structure with a domain wall, the depinning field of the wall, when current pulses are injected into the Au nanowire, was studied. The current pulse drastically modified the depinning field, which depended on the interplay between the externally applied field direction and polarity of the current, leading subsequently to an Oersted field and heating of the permalloy at the interface with the Au wire. Placing the domain wall at various distances from the Au wire and studying different wall propagation directions, the range of Joule heating and Oersted field was determined; both effects could be separated. Approaches beyond conventional field- and current-induced wall displacement are briefly discussed.

We investigate the spin dynamics of the magnetic domain wall using the magnetic noise in the magnetic nanowire structure by employing micromagnetic simulations. Magnetic noise due to the thermal fluctuations in ferromagnetic materials is related to magnetic susceptibility and resonance frequency, which are important physical quantities in the study of the spin dynamics. In this study, we present the magnetic noise of the single domain without magnetic domain wall, and with the magnetic domain wall between two magnetic domains in ferromagnetic nanowires. It is confirmed that the Kittel equation with simple ellipsoid model with demagnetizing factor well describe the resonance frequency due to magnetic noise of the single domain. Besides, we find that there is a distinguishable additional resonance frequency, when a magnetic domain wall exists. It is verified that the additional resonance frequency is originated from the magnetic domain wall, and it is lower than one of the single domain. It implies that the spins inside the domain wall have a different effective field.

A novel system of magneto-optical microscope magnetometer (MOMM), capable of simultaneous local problems of magnetic properties as well as real-time magnetic domain evolution imaging of ferromagnetic thin films with 400-nm spatial resolution, New findings in domain reveral dynamics of Co-based multilayers: The reversal ratio of V/R is a governing physical parameter. The activation volumes of wall-motion and nucleation processes are generally unequal. Submicron-scale local coercivity variation determines domain reversal dynamics. A thermally activated relaxation process during domain reversal is existed on the submicron-scale in realistic films. Local variation of magnetic properties should be considered for a realistic simulation. The fantastic capabilities of the MOMM can open many possibilities to broaden and deepen our understanding of domain reversal phenomena in ferromagnetic thin films.

We have investigated the magnetization reversal behavior in ferromagnetic $Co_{0.5}Fe_{0.5}$ alloy films using the magneto-optical Kerr microscope capable of the direct observation of time-resolved domain patterns. Interestingly enough, as the sample thickness increases the magnetization reversal behavior becomes changed from a single domain wall motion to the random nucleations of domains. Also, from the stochastic analysis of the domain jump sizes during the domain wall motion, it was found that the magnetization reversal behavior in the samples shows the critical scaling behavior with the critical exponent of ${\tau}{\sim}1.33$.
