Periodic magnetic structures generated by spin-polarized currents in nanostripes

We investigated the influence of a spin-polarized current on long ferromagnetic nanostripes. The magnetization behavior is analyzed for all range of the applied currents, up to the saturation. It is shown that the saturation current is a nonmonotonic function of the stripe width. For a stripe width increasing it approaches the saturation value for an infinite film. A number of stable periodic magnetization structures are observed below the saturation. Type of the periodical structure depends on the stripe width.
