Abstract
We investigate two distinct pinning mechanisms—denoted as static and kinetic pinning of magnetic domain wall (DW) in Permalloy nanowires with different widths. Both pinning situations are realized at an artificial notch on U-shaped Permalloy nanowires, depending on the initial DW states, moving or pinned. We find experimentally that the kinetic and static depinning fields simultaneously increase as the width of the nanowire decreases, whereas a difference between static and kinetic depinning fields monotomically decreases. This is ascribed to the shape anisotropy field of the DWs depending on the geometry of nanowires based on one-dimensional collective model.
