The controlled movement of nanometer sized magnetic domains on the (sub-) nanosecond time scale is of key importance for the development of new magnetic devices in storage and computing technology. While magnetization dynamics in in-plane magnetized materials has been intensely studied, domain sizes are too large for most state-of-the-art applications. In out-of-plane materials, however, we find narrow domains and domain walls, but these are much more sensitive to local pinning, thus making controlled displacements extremely challenging. We present here high resolution magnetic images of low pinning CoB/Pt multilayer structures and demonstrate the suitability of this material for controlled and reproducible field-induced dynamics of the magnetic domains on the nanosecond time scale.
