    Abstract

    We report that the current induced translational motion of transverse domain wall and domain wall switching in ferromagnetic nanowire is primarily governed by the configuration and polarization of the domain wall. The out-of-plane torque due to nonadiabacity and spin relaxation is found to be the dominant mechanism in the configuration and polarization dependent translational motion of the domain wall. The transverse domain wall undergoes a damped periodic back and forth translational motion along with a periodic switching from +ve polarization to -ve polarization and vice versa under the application of a pulsed current. The domain wall switching occurs at the start of each period of translation.
