Abstract
The effect of the local Oersted field on a pinned domain wall (DW) was investigated in a magnetic spin-valve nanowire. The Oersted field is produced by a low current, which is confined under a nano-oxide layer (NOL) inserted into the NiFe layer in sub/NiFe/Cu/NiFe/NOL/NiFe. It was found that the depinning field of the pinned DW decreases linearly as the magnitude of current (or equivalently Oersted field) increases. The Oersted field was believed to change the internal magnetic structure of DW, such that the DW pinning energy was lowered, resulting in the reduction of the depinning field.
