Energy-imbalance mechanism of domain wall motion induced by propagation spin waves in finite magnetic nanostripe

• The mechanism of the spin-wave induced DW motions is studied.
• The spin-wave induced DW motions and the energy imbalance mechanism are given.
• The DW motion with the same direction to that of SW is explained.
• The DW motion with the opposite direction to that of SW is explained.

The mechanism of the domain wall (DW) motions induced by spin wave in finite magnetic nanostripe is studied by micromagnetic simulations. We find that the spin-wave induced DM motions are always accompanied by an energy imbalance between two sides of the DW. The DW motion can be attributed to the expansion of the low-energy-density area and the contraction of the high-energy-density area. The energy imbalance strongly depends on whether the spin wave passes through the DW or is reflected by the DW. In the area of the spin wave propagation, the energy density increases with the time. However, in the superposition area of the incident spin wave and the reflected spin wave, the energy density decreases with the increasing of the time. It shows that this energy imbalance can be controlled by tuning the frequency of the spin wave. Finally, the effect of the damping parameter value is discussed.
