Summary

We observed anisotropic domain-wall propagation in magnetic films, finding that step edges control domain shape and movement. Simulations accurately reproduced these triangular domain formations, advancing understanding of magnetic domain behavior.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Materials science
  • Magnetism

Background:

  • Ultrathin magnetic films exhibit complex domain-wall dynamics.
  • Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is crucial for spintronic devices.

Main Results:

  • Anisotropic domain-wall propagation was observed.
  • Step edges were found to significantly influence domain-wall pinning.
  • Triangular domain shapes were formed due to sawtooth step-edge arrangements.
  • Simulations successfully reproduced the experimental observations.

Conclusions:

  • Step edges play a critical role in controlling domain-wall dynamics in ultrathin magnetic films.
  • The modified Ginzburg-Landau model provides an accurate framework for simulating anisotropic domain evolution.
  • Findings contribute to the fundamental understanding of magnetic domain behavior and potential applications in data storage.
