Geometric Control Over the Motion of Magnetic Domain Walls

We propose a method, which enables precise control of magnetic patterns, relying only on the fundamental properties of the wire and the choice of the path in the controlled parameter space but not on the rate of motion along this path. Possible experimental realizations of this mechanism are discussed. In particular, we show that the domain walls in magnetic nanowires can be translated by rotation of the magnetic easy axis, or by applying pulses of magnetic field directed transverse to the magnetic easy axis.
