The dynamic behavior of vortex and anti-vortex domain walls in Permalloy magnetic nanowires driven by magnetic fields higher than the Walker field was simulated utilizing the OOMMF micromagnetic simulation software. The effects of the magnetic field on the oscillating modes and frequencies of the domain walls for a magnetic nanowire of a fixed size are analyzed. The findings show that, when subjected to a magnetic field stronger than the Walker field, the anti-vortex domain walls will oscillate periodically, and the oscillation modes vary as the magnetic field changes. We also discuss how the oscillation mode and frequency of the domain walls are affected by the size of the magnetic nanowire. The findings indicate that as the size of the magnetic nanowire varies, the domain walls' oscillation mode clearly changes as well. Anti-vortex oscillations are more likely to occur in thin magnetic nanowires, whereas vortex oscillations are the primary oscillations in thick magnetic nanowires. However, the oscillation frequency of the anti-vortex domain wall is more widely controlled, and it can reach higher oscillation frequencies than the vortex. The findings of this study have practical significance for the construction of magnetic logic devices, high-density magnetic memories, and nano-oscillators.
