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…

We present experimental results on the displacement of a domain wall by injection of a dc current through the wall. The samples are 1 micron wide long stripes of a CoO/Co/Cu/NiFe classical spin valve structure. The stripes have been…
