Abstract

We present a field theoretical model which allows for domain walls that do not get stuck on impurities. For this purpose, we consider a generalized chiral magnet domain wall action with an impurity which couples both to a potential term as well as to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction energy. We show that in the so-called critical coupling limit the interaction energy between two types of domain walls and the impurity vanishes. Therefore, at low velocity, such domain walls pass freely through the impurity with almost no loss of energy.
