Schematic overview of methods to control DW motion. In (a) and (b), the experimentally well-established field- and current-induced DW motion are depicted. In (c), the here-proposed mechanism is shown, namely DW manipulation by an electric field. (d) Overview of the lateral structure of the sample to study DW motion under influence of an electric field.
