Abstract
The motion of a magnetic domain wall in a submicrometer magnetic wire was d etected by use of the giant magnetoresistance effect. Magnetization reversa l in a submicrometer magnetic wire takes place by the propagation of a magn etic domain wall, which can be treated as a "particle." The propagation vel ocity of the magnetic domain wall was determined as a function of the appli ed magnetic field.
