Abstract:
The characteristics of domain wall (DW) pinning at a notch in a spin-valve nanowire were investigated when a DW was created by a current, flowing into a spin-valve nanowire. It was found that DW pinning at a notch is quite sensitive to the magnitude of the current and its polarity. The current-polarity dependence of DW pinning is likely due to the spin structure in the core of the DW, which is determined by an Oersted field from the current in a Cu layer. This indicates that the control of DW pinning at a notch in a nanowire can be achieved by a current acting on its own, which is an important advantage of this method, compared with field-induced DW control.

Biasing of P-N Junction
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
Characteristics of MOSFET
Various vital parameters influence their functionality, which is crucial for theory and electronics applications. First, channel dimensions, precisely length, and width, are pivotal. The size of these channels affects the transistor's ability to carry current and switching speeds; shorter channels typically enable...
