The precise manipulation of transverse magnetic domain walls in finite/infinite nanowires with artificial defects under the influence of very short spin-polarized current pulses is investigated. We show that for a classical $3d$ ferromagnet material like Nickel, the exact positioning of the domain walls at room temperature is possible only for pulses with very short rise and fall time that move the domain wall reliably to nearest neighboring pinning position. The influence of the shape of the current pulse and of the transient effects on the phase diagram current-pulse length are discussed. We show that large transient effects appear even when $alpha$=$beta$, below a critical value, due to the domain wall distortion caused by the current pulse shape and the presence of the notches. The transient effects can oppose or amplify the spin-transfer torque (STT), depending on the ratio $beta/alpha$. This enlarges the physical comprehension of the DW motion under STT and opens the route to the DW displacement in both directions with unipolar currents.

Domain walls in ferromagnetic nanowires are potential building-blocks of future technologies such as racetrack memories, in which data encoded in the domain walls are transported using spin-polarised currents. However, the development of energy-effic ient devices has been hampered by the high current densities needed to initiate domain wall motion. We show here that a remarkable reduction in the critical current density can be achieved for in-plane magnetised coupled domain walls in CoFe/Ru/CoFe synthetic ferrimagnet tracks. The antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between the layers leads to simple N{e}el wall structures, imaged using photoemission electron and Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, with a width of only $sim 100$~nm. The measured critical current density to set these walls in motion, detected using magnetotransport measurements, is $1.0 times 10^{11}$~Am$^{-2}$, almost an order of magnitude lower than in a ferromagnetically coupled control sample. Theoretical modelling indicates that this is due to nonadiabatic driving of anisotropically coupled walls, a mechanism that can be used to design efficient domain-wall devices.

The nonlinear dynamics of a transverse domain wall (TDW) in Permalloy and Nickel nanostrips with two artificially patterned pinning centers is studied numerically up to rf frequencies. The phase diagram frequency - driving amplitude shows a rich vari ety of dynamical behaviors depending on the material parameters and the type and shape of pinning centers. We find that T-shaped traps (antinotches) create a classical double well Duffing potential that leads to a small chaotic region in the case of Nickel and a large one for Py. In contrast, the rectangular constrictions (notches) create an exponential potential that leads to larger chaotic regions interspersed with periodic windows for both Py and Ni. The influence of temperature manifests itself by enlarging the chaotic region and activating thermal jumps between the pinning sites while reducing the depinning field at low frequency in the notched strips.

We report several procedures for the robust nucleation of magnetic domain walls in cylindrical permalloy nanowires. Specific features of the magnetic force microscopy contrast of such soft wires are discussed, with a view to avoid the misinterpretati on of the magnetization states. The domain walls could be moved under quasistatic magnetic fields in the range 0.1--10 mT.
Cylindrical nanowires made of soft magnetic materials, in contrast to thin strips, may host domain walls of two distinct topologies. Unexpectedly, we evidence experimentally the dynamic transformation of topology upon wall motion above a field thresh old. Micromagnetic simulations highlight the underlying precessional dynamics for one way of the transformation, involving the nucleation of a Bloch-point singularity, however, fail to reproduce the reverse process. This rare discrepancy between micromagnetic simulations and experiments raises fascinating questions in material and computer science.

Recent analytical and numerical work on field driven domain wall propagation in nanowires has shown that for large transverse anisotropy and sufficiently large applied fields the Walker profile becomes unstable before the breakdown field, giving way to a slower stationary domain wall. We perform an asymptotic expansion of the Landau Lifshitz Gilbert equation for large transverse magnetic anisotropy and show that the asymptotic dynamics reproduces this behavior. At low applied field the speed increases linearly with the field and the profile is the classic Landau profile. Beyond a critical value of the applied field the domain wall slows down. The appearance of a slower domain wall profile in the asymptotic dynamics is due to a transition from a pushed to a pulled front of a reaction diffusion equation.
