Popis: The spin torque (ST) efficiency and energy barrier of domain wall (DW) depinning are investigated by analyzing the telegraph noise in nanostructured ferromagnetic Pt/Co/Pt films. The telegraph noise is generated by applying both a magnetic field and an electric current, whose forces on the DW oppose each other. Cumulating the DW depinning probability experimentally revealed that the DW depinning was governed by a single energy barrier, whose height was estimated to be about 1.0 × 10−19 J. The ST efficiency at the pinning site is estimated to be −4.6 × 10−14 T·m2/A. The present analysis technique provides an alternative way to determine the ST efficiency in the short-current-pulse-driven DW motion at a single energy barrier.
