Single domain wall dynamics in ferromagnetic lamination with variable conductivity

The influence of variable conductivity and thickness of two outer non-ferromagnetic layers on magnetization reversal of one central ferromagnetic layer is theoretically investigated. The model of a thin rigid 180° domain wall moving transversely through the axially magnetized ferromagnetic layer is used to calculate induced eddy currents in lamination from which the domain wall mobility is determined. The effect of asymmetric distribution of eddy currents around moving domain wall results in acceleration of the wall near the edge of the lamination. The known domain wall mobility in ferromagnetic lamination can then be used to determine either the conductivity or the thickness of deposited outer non-ferromagnetic layers as proposed in discussion.
