Shear Surface Wave on a Moving Bloch Wall

Using Galileo's transformation for moving to the rest frame of the Bloch wall in the exchange-free magnetostatic approximation, we obtain the dispersion relation for a shear surface wave guided by a moving 180-degree domain boundary of a ferromagnetic crystal. It is found that the motion of the domain boundary has the orienting action on the wave normal of the shear surface wave and significantly changes the spectrum of forward-propagating waves in the frequency band below the scattered-field ferromagnetic resonance.     

Numerical modeling of wave development under the action of wind

Three-dimensional numerical modeling is performed for development of surface waves under the action of wind. The model is based on equations for potential motion of a fluid with a free surface, which are transformed to a curvilinear system of coordinates where the height is counted from the moving surface. The problem is solved in the doubly periodic domain by the Fourier method with calculation of nonlinearity using a high-resolution mesh (Fourier transform method). The three-dimensional elliptic equation for the velocity potential is solved as the Poisson equation by the marching method with iterations. The energy input from wind and the wave energy dissipation are introduced on the basis of the earlier developed and verified algorithms. The long-period evolution of the three-dimensional flow is demonstrated with the wave surface spectra and energy input and output spectra. The results are compared to the experimental data.     

Spin wave spectrum of magnetic nanotubes

We investigate the spin wave spectra associated to a vortex domain wall confined within a ferromagnetic nanotube. Basing our study upon a simple model for the energy functional we obtain the dispersion relation, the density of states and dissipation induced life-times of the spin wave excitations in presence of a magnetic domain wall. Our aim is to capture the basics spin wave physics behind the geometrical confinement of nobel magnetic textures.     

Current-induced domain wall motion in magnetic nanowires with spatial variation

We model current-induced domain wall motion in magnetic nanowires with the variable width. Employing the collective coordinate method we trace the wall dynamics. The effect of the width modulation is implemented by spatial dependence of an effective magnetic field. The wall destination in the potential energy landscape due to the magnetic anisotropy and the spatial nonuniformity is obtained as a function of the current density. For a nanowire of a periodically modulated width, we identify three (pinned, nonlinear, and linear) current density regimes for current-induced wall motion. The threshold current densities depend on the pulse duration as well as the magnitude of wire modulation. In the nonlinear regime, application of ns order current pulses results in wall displacement which opposes or exceeds the prediction of the spin transfer mechanism. The finding explains stochastic nature of the domain wall displacement observed in recent experiments.

Excitation spectrum and thermodynamics of domain walls in the biaxial ferromagnet

The problem on spectrum of linear excitations in the presence of a moving domain wall in 1D Heisenberg ferromagnet with orthorhombic anisotropy is exactly solved. The explicit expressions for spin waves scattering on the domain wall are obtained. The phase shift of a spin wave, as the result of collision of spin wave with a moving wall, is exactly determined. The change in magnon density of states is calculated from this scattering data, and the contribution of domain walls to the classical low-temperature thermodynamics is found.     

Mode spectrum of noncollinear electroacoustic boundary-guided waves in a ferroelectric with a moving strip domain

The mode spectrum of electroacoustic boundary waves guided by a strip domain uniformly moving in a 4-mm ferroelectric is considered in the quasi-static approximation. The motion of the strip domain is found to cause the wave vector of the electroacoustic wave to be noncollinear with the guiding boundaries. The frequency dependences of the phase velocity are presented for the symmetric and antisymmetric modes of the electroacoustic wave. These dependences are compared in the reference system fixed to the strip domain and in the laboratory reference system. It is shown that, at low and moderate frequencies, the symmetric mode of the electroacoustic wave is more efficiently localized by a moving strip domain than by a single domain wall.     

On capillary motion of a viscoelastic liquid with a charged free surface

The structure of the capillary-relaxation motion spectrum in a liquid with a charged free surface has been investigated taking into account the viscosity relaxation effect. On the basis of numerical analysis of the dispersion equation for the wave motion in a viscoelastic incompressible liquid, it is shown that for a given wave number the range of characteristic relaxation times in which relaxation-type wave motion exists is limited and expands with increasing wave number. The growth rate of instability of the charged liquid surface markedly depends on the characteristic relaxation time and increases with its growth; in liquids with elastic properties, the energy dissipation rate of capillary motion is enhanced. At a surface charge density that is supercritical for the onset of Tonks-Frenkel instability, both purely gravitational waves and waves of a relaxational nature exist.     

Pseudosurface dispersion polaritons and their resonance excitation

The conditions for the transformation of surface polaritons (surface electromagnetic waves) into pseudosurface polaritons under the influence of perturbations are investigated. The transformation occurs because of the appearance of a weak energy loss flow typical of pseudosurface polaritons, which carries energy away from the surface of the solid. The dispersion polaritons existing at negative values of the dielectric constant are considered. The domain of existence of the pseudosurface polaritons is studied; their main characteristics and the parameters of the resonance excitation of these polaritons by a pumping wave are investigated.     

Temperature dependence of the spin torque effect in current-induced domain wall motion

We present an experimental study of domain wall motion induced by current pulses as well as by conventional magnetic fields at temperatures between 2 and 300 K in a 110 nm wide and 34 nm thick Ni80Fe20 ring. We observe that, in contrast with field-induced domain wall motion, which is a thermally activated process, the critical current density for current-induced domain wall motion increases with increasing temperature, which implies a reduction of the spin torque efficiency. The effect of Joule heating due to the current pulses is measured and taken into account to obtain critical fields and current densities at constant sample temperatures. This allows for a comparison of our results with theory.     

Dynamics of magnetic domain wall motion after nucleation: dependence on the wall energy

The dynamics of magnetic domain wall motion in the FeNi layer of a FeNi/Al2O3/Co trilayer has been investigated by a combination of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, photoelectron emission microscopy, and a stroboscopic pump-probe technique. The nucleation of domains and subsequent expansion by domain wall motion in the FeNi layer during nanosecond-long magnetic field pulses was observed in the viscous regime up to the Walker limit field. We attribute an observed delay of domain expansion to the influence of the domain wall energy that acts against the domain expansion and that plays an important role when domains are small.     

Visualization of wavelet spectra of fractal Brownian motion

Methods for visualizing wavelet spectra are considered for two realizations of fractal Brownian motion. The effect of “peak aggregation” on the energy density surface of a wavelet transformation is demonstrated using the local-scale normalization method. It is proposed that an adaptive scale of level lines based on the time-averaged distribution of the energy density of the wavelet transformation be used to eliminate the undesirable effect and to refine the image.

A DFT investigation of potential energy surface and vibrational properties of hydrogen adsorbed on the Rh(1 1 1) surface

Vibrational properties of hydrogen on the Rh(1 1 1) surface have been investigated theoretically. The potential energy surface for this system has been calculated within the density functional theory. The potential is found to be very anharmonic. The wave functions and their energies for the hydrogen motion on the potential energy surface (PES) have been calculated and assigned by using discrete variable representation. It was found that the vibrational wave function is localized at hollow site in the ground state for hydrogen on Rh(1 1 1). Higher excited states are of delocalized nature and mixed parallel and perpendicular character. Our results are in good agreement with the observed vibrational spectra of hydrogen on the Rh(1 1 1) surface.     

Classical dependence of the domain wall velocity on the magnetic field in garnet ferrite films with orthorhombic magnetic anisotropy

The dependence of the domain wall velocity V on the acting magnetic field H is investigated for bismuth-containing single-crystal garnet ferrite films with orthorhombic magnetic anisotropy. It is shown that this dependence includes both the initial linear portion and a saturation portion and exhibits a complex behavior. This behavior is explained within the model of domain wall motion with spin wave radiation.     

The increase of the spin-transfer torque threshold current density in coupled vortex domain walls

We have studied the dependence on the domain wall structure of the spin-transfer torque current density threshold for the onset of wall motion in curved, Gd-doped Ni(80)Fe(20) nanowires with no artificial pinning potentials. For single vortex domain walls, for both 10% and 1% Gd-doping concentrations, the threshold current density is inversely proportional to the wire width and significantly lower compared to the threshold current density measured for transverse domain walls. On the other hand for high Gd concentrations and large wire widths, double vortex domain walls are formed which require an increase in the threshold current density compared to single vortex domain walls at the same wire width. We suggest that this is due to the coupling of the vortex cores, which are of opposite chirality, and hence will be acted on by opposing forces arising through the spin-transfer torque effect.     

Magneto-optical study of domain wall dynamics and giant Barkhausen jump in magnetic microwires

Investigation of surface domain walls motion in Co-rich magnetic microwires has been performed in circular and axial magnetic fields. The dc axial magnetic field acceleration of the domain wall motion related to the influence of the axial field on the structure of the moving domain wall has been discovered. Pulsed axial magnetic field induced unidirectional motion of surface domain wall also has been found.     

Density Correlations in the Two-Dimensional Coulomb Gas

We consider a two-dimensional Coulomb gas of positive and negative pointlike unit charges interacting via a logarithmic potential. The density (rather than the charge) correlation functions are studied. In the bulk, the form-factor theory of an equivalent sine-Gordon model is used to determine the density correlation length. At the surface of a rectilinear plain wall, the universality of the asymptotic behavior of the density correlations is suggested. A scaling analysis implies a local form of the compressibility sum rule near a hard wall. A symmetry of the Coulomb system with respect to the Möbius conformal transformation, which induces a gravitational source acting on the particle density, is established. Among the consequences, a universal term of the finite-size expansion of the grand potential is derived exactly for a disk geometry of the confining domain.     

Nonlinear magnetoacoustic interactions in weak ferromagnets

The pinning and interaction of a single domain wall with normal magnetoelastic waves excited during its motion in a single-crystal yttrium orthoferrite plate, were discovered and investigated by a method based on the magneto-optical Faraday effect. The dependences of the bending wave amplitude and the spectra of shear waves, which can be excited by a moving domain wall, were calculated. The results obtained are interpreted with allowance for the interactions of excited oscillations in both the magnetic and elastic subsystems of the orthoferrite.
