Abstract

Thermally assisted motion of magnetic domain wall under spin torque is studied theoretically. It is shown that the wall velocity v depends exponentially on the spin current, Is, below the threshold value, in the same way as in a thermally activated motion driven by a force. A significant property of the spin torque driven case at low temperature is that the linear term in spin current is universal, i.e., Inv∼πℏ∕2e(Is∕kBT). This behavior, which is independent of pinning and material constants, could be used to confirm experimentally the spin torque as the driving mechanism.
