Abstract

(∼8 nm)/Ta(3 nm), we show that the partially compensated ferrimagnets CoGd and FeGd can exhibit a faster DW motion under various (in-plane and out-of-plane) magnetic fields driven by current-induced spin-orbit torques. In stark contrast with the fast motion of domain walls in Gd-based ferrimagnets, we find that the CoTb system exhibits much slower DW dynamics, and the FeTb system shows no motion, but evolved into a multi-domain state upon applying current pulses. Our results demonstrate that ferrimagnets CoGd and FeGd are more suitable candidates for achieving ultrafast DW motion, which could be useful for developing spintronic memory and logic devices.
