Here, we demonstrate the effect of the internal-to-the-system geometry-induced motion of a domain wall in a curved nanostripe. Being driven by the gradient of the curvature of a biaxial stripe, transversal domain walls acquire remarkably high velocities of up to 100 m/s and do not exhibit any Walker-type speed limit. We pinpoint that the inhomogeneous distribution of the curvature-induced Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya interaction is a driving force for the motion of a domain wall. Although we showcase our approach on the specific Euler spiral geometry, the approach is general and can be applied to a wide class of geometries.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-05-11T18:08:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "magnetic domain walls", "geometry-induced motion", "curved nanostripe", "domain walls acquire remarkably high", "specific euler spiral geometry" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
