Pulsed-current controlled magnetic domain wall motion in a patterned Permalloy film



These images of 40 um x 25 um in size were obtained by sequential MFM scans after each current pulse. The motion of the walls is best seen by noting the relative displacement with respect to the fixed topographical defects (white dots). The displacement of Bloch walls as far as 200 um along the strip was observed. The direction of domain wall motion was in the same direction with the electron flow, i.e. opposite to the current direction. The displacement per pulse was dependent on the sample thickness and current density. In general, wall displacement occurs when a critical current density on the order of 1011A/m2 is reached. This experiment clearly demonstrate the feasibility of using short current pulses as control signals to alter magnetization of a specific area of the surface.

A change is approaching!

My original intention of this site was to spread the word on Edward Leedsklanin's magnetic current and to provide interesting observations on coral castle and things related to magnetic current.  I have come to realise when speaking to people on the topic that most of my original illustrations are not accessible any longer.  I always intended to re-illustrate them with corrections , so my apologies if you purchased anybodys publications that have my incorrect illustrations in them. I plan to re-do this whole site - or link it to a new site. And whilst blogger has worked well it might be time to use another platform. Where I will start from is the very beginning ... page.1 and move on from there. With your help and observations I will make corrections where necessary. I hope everyone gets involved in following and doing the experiments for themselves. Stay tuned..

Daniel McFarland Cook's, Electro-Magnetic Battery

Image
Over a hundred and thirty years ago Daniel McFarland Cook of Mansfield, Ohio patented an "Electro-Magnetic Battery" that he stated "produces a constant current without the aid of a galvanic battery". His patent number 119,825 was issued on October 10, 1871. Did he really make something that continuously produced electricity? This was eight years before Edison invented the light bulb. Did he actually build this, or was it just an idea that in reality does not work? This is of his patent. taken from - http://my.voyager.net/~jrrandall/CookCoil.htm
