Abstract
Forced motion of a domain wall in the presence of fluctuations of external magnetic field and those of the parameters of the magnetic medium is studied. Calculations for the models of magnetic systems described by the sine-Gordon and Landau-Lifshitz equations are presented. It is shown that the driven motion of domain walls is characterized by the time-independent velocity distribution function which is used to calculate various statistical characteristics of the domain wall. Analysis of the mean velocity of the steady motion of the domain wall leads to the conclusion that the presence of a fluctuating magnetic field results in an increase of the effective relaxation constant of the magnetic system. In case of the sine-Gordon model the mean radiation power accompanying the forced motion of the domain wall is calculated. Inelastic interactions of two domain walls of opposite polarities are described.
