Unidirectional motion of magnetic domain walls: the experiment and numerical simulation

The results of study of unidirectional motion of topologically different domain structures under the influence of periodic bipolar and unipolar magnetic field pulses applied perpendicular to the sample plane of (111) iron garnet single crystal plate are presented. The response of the domain structure to the field pulses was studied by direct observations utilizing the stroboscopic technique. Experimentally obtained dependences of the speed of unidirectional motion of stripe domains on the parameters of external bipolar pulsed magnetic field are compared with the results of numerical simulations.
