Abstract
A new three-dimensional simulation procedure was developed for domain wall (grain boundary, APB, magnetic, etc.) migration in the presence of diffusing impurities. The simulation is based upon a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm and an extended Ising model, incorporating both conserved and non-conserved dynamics. The simulations show a dependence of the domain wall velocity on driving force which is very similar to that seen in 2-d and in qualitative agreement with experiment. That is, the presence of a low mobility regime at small driving force and an abrupt transition to a high mobility regime at larger forces, under some conditions, and a continuous, non-linear dependence of the velocity on the force in others. The main qualitative difference between the 2-d and 3-d simulation results is in how the domain wall roughness depends on driving force. The velocity-driving force relation is not consistent with classic continuum models, but may be described, in the high velocity regime, by a theory based upon a discrete version of these models.
