The recent discovery that a propagating spin-wave moves domain wall has created a new possibility to manipulate magnetization [1]. This is now the subject of extensive research motivated not only by its fundamental interest but also by promising applications for novel spintronic devices. First we calculate the domain wall motion by propagating spin waves (SWs) on a magnetic nanowire by using the objected oriented micromagnetic framework (OOMMF) code [2]. We calculate the depinning fields of the trapped head-to-head transverse walls due to notch by propagating SWs and applied fields along the nanowire. The depinning fields depend on the frequency and amplitude of SWs. To understand the optimization frequencies to depin the DWs, we calculate the dispersion relation by using Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) method.
