Rapid Domain Wall Motion in Permalloy Nanowires Excited by Spin-Polarized Current Applied Perpendicular to the Nanowire

We study domain wall (DW) dynamics in permalloy nanowires excited by alternating spin-polarized current applied perpendicular to the nanowire. Spin torque ferromagnetic resonance measurements reveal that DW oscillations at a pinning site in the nanowire can be excited with velocities as high as 800 m/s at current densities below 10${}^7$ A/cm${}^2$.
