Dynamics of multiple transverse walls (TWs) in a magnetic nanostripe is studied by micromagnetic simulations. It shows that, when TWs are arranged in a stripe with same orientation, they will attract each other and finally annihilate. However, when adjacent TWs are arranged with opposite orientation, a metastable complex wall can be formed, e.g., two TWs lead to 360o wall. For three or more TWs, the formed complex wall includes a number of 360o substructures, which is called multiple 360o structure (M360S) here. The M360S itself may be used to store multiple logical data since each 360o substructure can act as logical ”0” or ”1”. On the other hand, the M360S may behave like single TW under an applied current, namely, the M360S can be driven steadily by current like that of single TW. A parity effect of the number of 360o substructures on the critical current for the annihilation is found. Namely, when the number is odd or even, the critical current increase or decrease with the increasing of the number, respectively. The parity effect is relevant to the out-of-plane magnetic moment of the M360S.
By micromagnetic simulations, we study the current-driven 360° domain wall (360DW) motion in ferromagnetic nanostripe with an in-plane biaxial anisotropy. We observe the critical annihilation current of 360° domain wall can be enhanced through such a type of anisotropy, the reason of which is the suppression of out-of-plane magnetic moments generated simultaneously with domain-wall motion. In details, We have found that the domain-wall width is only related to K y − K x, with K x(y) the anisotropy constant in x(y) direction. Taking domain-wall width into consideration, a prior choice is to keep K y ≈ K x with large enough K. The mode of domain-wall motion has been investigated as well. The traveling-wave-motion region increases with K, while the average DW velocity is almost unchanged. Another noteworthy feature is that a Walker-breakdown-like motion exists before annihilation. In this region, though domain wall moves with an oscillating behavior, the average velocity does not reduce dramatically, but even rise again for a large K.
