The propagation velocities of a magnetic domain wall (DW) in polycrystalline and single-crystalline layers ofwires were measured using the giant magnetoresistance effect. In a single-crystalline Fe wire, the DW propagation velocity (1 km/s in a 110 Oe field at 77 K) was about three times faster than that in a polycrystalline Fe wire. This is attributable to the increase in an effective damping derived from incoherent rotation of the magnetization, which reduced the DW’s mobility in the polycrystalline wire. Magnetocrystalline anisotropy plays an important role in the nucleation of DW and the switching process. Analytic solutions for the DW’s motion have been found on the basis of an approximation suggested by the Slonczewski-Walker and Becker-Döring models; these solutions can explain our experimental results.
