(a) Schematic depicting the setup for domain wall (DW) injection and driving measurement. (b) SEM image of the wire with non-magnetic Hall probes for DW detection. DW velocity versus current density under a constant in-plane magnetic field along + x and −x-directions for Ta capping with thickness (c) 1 nm, and (d) 3 nm. Comparison of DW velocity for Ta capping thicknesses 1 nm and 3 nm; magnetic field was applied along the (e) −x-direction, and (f) + x-direction.
