The theme deals with the study of the magnetization dynamics in magnetic nanostructures, such as thin films and wires. In particular, we study the motion of magnetic interfaces (domain walls) at small fields, in the so called creep regime, for its importance in the future spintronic devices.
Different approaches are possible:
- experimental, with direct investigation of the domain wall motion using magneto-optical setup,
- data analysis, investigating the statistical properties of the domain wall motion, to be compared with existing models and theories of creep phenomena,
- simulation, considering the motion of a domain wall in a disorder environment with relevant interactions of real systems.
The work is performed within the Metrological Institute of Torino (INRIM - Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica) in collaboration with several international groups, both theoretical and experimental.
