Abstract :
The authors report on current-induced domain wall (DW) movement in synthetic spin valves. The high exchanged field in synthetic antiferromagnets (SAF) keeps the the magnetization of the pinned layer unchanged during the measurement. Thus, the GMR measurement allows to an accurate determination of the DW position and displacement.
