Abstract

The field driven nucleation and propagation of transverse domain walls in a uniform Ni nanowire is examined by means of Monte Carlo simulations combined with a scaling technique. Simulations show a nonlinear behavior followed by the simultaneous nucleation of several domain walls. Also we study the angular dependence of the propagation of the transverse domain wall with external field. Results are analyzed in terms of the classical relaxation model for interface dynamics. © 2008 American Institute of Physics.
