Abstract

This article deals with the analytical study of propagation of static wall profiles in ferromagnetic nanowires under the effect of spin–orbit Rashba field. We consider the governing dynamics for the evolution of magnetization inside the ferromagnetic material as an extended version of Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert–Slonczewski equation of micromagnetism. It comprises the nonlinear dissipation factors like dry-friction and viscous. We establish the threshold and Walker-type breakdown estimates of the external sources in the steady-regime and also illustrate the obtained results numerically.
