Abstract

The combined action of a transverse spin-polarized current and the current-induced {\O}rsted field on long ferromagnetic nanostripes is studied numerically and analytically. The magnetization behavior is analyzed for stripes with various widths and for all range of the applied current density. It is established that {\O}rsted field does not destroy periodical magnetization structures induced by the spin-torque, e.g. vortex-antivortex crystal and cross-tie domain walls. However, the action of the {\O}rsted field disables the saturation state for the strong currents: a stationary state with a single longitudinal domain wall appears instead. Shape of this wall remains constant with the current increasing. The latter phenomenon is studied both numerically and analytically.
