Achieving high velocities of magnetic domain walls is a crucial factor for their use as information carriers in modern nanoelectronic applications. In nanomagnetism and spintronics, these velocities are often limited either by internal domain wall instabilities, known as the Walker breakdown phenomenon, or by spin wave emission, known as the magnonic regime. In the rigid domain wall model, the maximum magnon velocity acts as an effective "speed of light", providing a relativistic analogy for the domain wall speed limitation. Cylindrical magnetic nanowires are an example of systems without the Walker breakdown phenomenon. Here we demonstrate that the magnonic limit could be outstandingly surpassed in cylindrical nanowires with high magnetization, such as iron. Our numerical modeling shows the Bloch point domain wall velocities as high as 14 km s, well above the magnonic limit estimated in the interval 1.7-2.0 km s. The key ingredient is the three-dimensional conical shape of the domain wall, which elongates and breaks during the dynamics, expelling backwards pairs of Bloch points. This leads to domain wall acceleration, the effect, which resembles the "jet propulsion". This effect will be very important for three-dimensional networks based on cylindrical magnetic nanowires.
在现代纳米电子应用中,实现磁畴壁的高速移动是将其用作信息载体的关键因素。在纳米磁学和自旋电子学中,这些速度通常受到内部畴壁不稳定性(即沃克击穿现象)或自旋波发射(即磁子 regime)的限制。在刚性畴壁模型中,最大磁子速度充当有效的“光速”,为畴壁速度限制提供了相对论类比。圆柱形磁性纳米线是没有沃克击穿现象的系统的一个例子。在这里,我们证明在具有高磁化强度的圆柱形纳米线(如铁)中,磁子极限可以被显著超越。我们的数值模拟显示布洛赫点畴壁速度高达14 km/s,远高于在1.7 - 2.0 km/s区间估计的磁子极限。关键因素是畴壁的三维锥形形状,它在动力学过程中伸长并破裂,向后排出成对的布洛赫点。这导致畴壁加速,这种效应类似于“喷气推进”。这种效应对于基于圆柱形磁性纳米线的三维网络将非常重要。
