Abstract

Recent studies in three-dimensional spintronics propose that the Œrsted field plays a significant role in cylindrical nanowires. However, there is no direct report on its impact on magnetic textures. Here, we use time-resolved scanning transmission x-ray microscopy to image the dynamic response of magnetization in cylindrical Co30Ni70 nanowires subjected to nanosecond Œrsted field pulses. We observe the tilting of longitudinally magnetized domains toward the azimuthal Œrsted field direction and create a robust model to reproduce the differential magnetic contrasts and extract the angle of tilt. Furthermore, we report the compression and expansion, or breathing, of a Bloch-point domain wall that occurs when weak pulses with opposite signs are applied. We expect that this work lays the foundation for and provides an incentive to further studying complex and fascinating magnetization dynamics in nanowires, especially the predicted ultra-fast domain wall motion and associated spin wave emissions.
