Abstract:
The characteristics of domain wall (DW) pinning and propagation in a three-terminal magnetic Y-junction were investigated, where the junction consisted of two input and one output wires. The output switching depends strongly on the junction angle (α). Junctions with high angles of α>9.5° lead to DW pinning at the junction, whereas junctions with low angles of α<9.5° have no DW pinning effect. At the critical angle of α = 9.5°, the Y-junction showed a multimode DW propagation, which was ascribed to a moderate transverse field effect.
