Influence of the magnetoelastic anisotropy on the domain wall dynamics in bistable amorphous wires.
We deal with the influence of the applied stress on the domain wall velocity in glass-coated magnetic microwires. In general, the domain wall velocity decreases with the applied tensile stress. Four regimes of the domain wall dynamics appear: (1) diffusion-damped, (2) a regime with variable domain wall width, (3) a viscous and (4) a vortex regime. Detailed analysis of domain wall parameters shows that the structural relaxation plays an important role even at ambient temperatures if high tensile stress is present. At higher fields (viscous regime), the most important damping arises from magnetic relaxation of magnetic moments. Finally, the domain wall velocity steeply increases (reaching a maximum at 7000 m s(-1)) in the vortex regime and so does the domain wall mobility.
