Benefits of technology

[0008]The tubular geometry of the nanosized magnetic wire allows for 360° domain walls (i.e. domainwalls in which the local magnetic polarization undergoes a 360° rotation when traversing from one domain to another) to be self stabilizing (i.e. topologically stabilized) as the domain walls loop around the tube and in on themselves.
[0020]In a preferred embodiment the step of producing the tubular nanosized magnetic wire comprises the step of: producing the tubular nanosized magnetic wire by standard electron beam lithography and mask techniques with successive sputtering steps. In another aspect of the invention the tubular nanosized magnetic wire is used in a racetrack memory device. Racetrack memory devices are gaining interest as high-density storage devices. The use of tubular nanosized magnetic wires according to the invention is advantageously due to their stability.

Problems solved by technology

Indeed, propagation of domain walls in planar nanowires is ultimately limited by Walker breakdown, which describes a process whereby an anti-vortex structure is periodically nucleated and annihilated at the wire edges, causing the motion of the domain wall to become non-uniform.
The resulting technical problem is the instability and slow speed of magnetic domain walls.

Embodiment Construction

[0027]FIG. 1a) is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention showing a magnetic wire 100 with a tubular shell 101. According to FIG. 1a) the magnetic wire 100 is a magnetically hollow tube 102. The wording “magnetically hollow” refers to the case that the inner core 104 of the tubular magnetic wire 100 can be either empty or filled with a non-ferromagnetic, that is dia-, para-, or antiferromagnetic material.

[0028]The 360° domain walls 10 are perpendicular to the axis of the wire 100 with magnetization 107 going from parallel to perpendicular, to parallel alignment with regard to the wire 100 axis. The 360° domain walls 106 are stabilized by the morphology of the tubular hollow shell 101. Therefore one advantage of the proposed tubular nanosized magnetic wire 100 comprising a self-stabilizing, 360° magnetic domain wall 106 is that due to its chirality a 360° domain wall 106 can be moved through the system using field and current pulses. The proposed tubular nanosiz...

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to the field of tubular nanosized magnetic wire and in particular to a tubular nanosized magnetic wire comprising a tubular magnetic shell surrounding a longitudinal axis of the wire, wherein at least one region of the tubular magnetic shell is capable of providing a 360° magnetic domain wall. The invention also relates to a racetrack memory device making use of tubular nanosized magnetic wires with 360° magnetic domain walls.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Magnetic materials have been used in functional devices for decades, such as recording devices including hard disk drives (HDDs), magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM), bubble and thin-film data storage, sensor and domain shift register devices. Most of these traditional functional devices are based on the control of magnetic domains. For example, recording media use single magnetic domain states with two opposite magnetization directions to represent the information bits ...
