Gyroscopic dynamics of antiferromagnetic vortices in the orthoferrite domain wall

The method of generation of antiferromagnetic vortices on the supersound domain wall in the orthoferrites was proposed. Moving antiferromagnetic vortices were accompanied by the solitary deflection waves. These waves were used for investigation of generation and nonlinear dynamics of the antiferromagnetic vortices on a moving domain wall with the help of two- and three-fold digital highspeed photography and Faraday rotation in the orthoferrites plates cut perpendicular to the optical axis. The full velocity of antiferromagnetic vortex nonlinearly increases and saturates on the spin velocity level c. The vortices with smallest topological charges saturate earlier than with big one. The vortices velocity along the domain wall u increases up to the maximum and goes to the dependence u(2)+v(2) = c(2). Vortex dynamics is quasirelativistic on quasirelativistic domain wall. The theory of gyroscopic force in the domain wall of orthoferrites was elaborated by Zvezdin et al. and was con. rmed our earlier experimental results. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
