Abstract

Thermally induced magnetization dynamics is currently a flourishing field of research due to its potential application in information technology. We study the paradigmatic system of a magnetic domain wall in a thermal gradient which is interacting with an adjacent superconductor. The spin-transfer torques arising in this system due to the combined action of the giant thermoelectric effect and the creation of equal-spin pairs in the superconductor are large enough to give rise to high domain wall velocities 10310^3 times larger than previously predicted.
