Controlling domain wall nucleation and injection through focussed ion beam irradiation in perpendicularly magnetized nanowires

Using Ga+ focussed ion beam irradiation of Ta/Pt/CoFeB/Pt perpendicularly magnetized nanowires, the nucleation and injection fields of domain walls into the nanowires is controlled. The nucleation and injection fields can be varied as a function of dose, however, the range of injection fields is fou...
