Abstract

An attempt is made to demonstrate that, provided that Ohmic boundary conditions are chosen to model the contact regions, different mechanisms for domain formation occur for different boundary conditions and sizes of the voltage step in domain-wall relocation experiments. Two generic times characterize the transition from unstable to stable operating points on the current-voltage characteristic: a delay time and a switching time.
