Abstract
We theoretically study current-induced dynamics of a transverse magnetic domain wall in bi-layer nanowires consisting of a ferromagnetic layer on top of a nonmagnetic layer with strong spin-orbit coupling. Domain wall dynamics is characterized by two threshold current densities, JthWB and JthREV, where JthWB is a threshold for the chirality switching of the domain wall and JthREV is another threshold for the reversed domain wall motion caused by spin Hall effect. Domain walls with a certain chirality may move opposite to the electron-flow direction with high speed in the current range JthREV<J<JthWB for the system designed to satisfy the conditions JthWB>JthREV and α>β, where α is the Gilbert damping constant and β is the nonadiabaticity of spin torque. Micromagnetic simulations confirm the validity of analytical results.
