Abstract

We theoretically examine a cross effect of magnetic field and charge current on antiferromagnetic domain wall dynamics. Since antiferromagnetic materials are largely insensitive to external magnetic fields in general, charge current has been shown recently as an alternative and efficient way to manipulate antiferromagnets. We find a new role of the magnetic field in the antiferromagnetic dynamics that appears when it is combined with charge current, demonstrating a domain wall motion in the presence of both field and current. We show that a spatially-varying magnetic field can shift the current-driven domain-wall velocity, depending on the domain-wall structure and the direction of the field-gradient. Our result suggests a novel concept of field-control of current-driven antiferromagnetic dynamics.
