Charge resistance and spin torque are generated by coherent carrier transport through ferromagnetic 360 degree domain walls, although they follow qualitatively different trends than for 180 degree domain walls. The charge resistance of 360…
A domain wall in a ferromagnetic one-dimensional nanowire experiences current induced motion due to its coupling with the conduction electrons. When the current is not sufficient to drive the domain wall through the wire, or it is confined…
