In this contribution, we present a time-resolved scanning-transmission x-ray microscopy investigation of the current- and magnetic field-induced domain wall motion of Néel-type domain walls in perpendicularly magnetized microwires fabricated out of Pt/CoB/Ir multilayer superlattice stacks exhibiting anti-symmetric exchange interaction. A time step of 200 ps, combined with a spatial resolution of 25 nm, was employed for the time-resolved imaging experiments, providing a first direct imaging of the dynamics of the domain wall motion with sub-ns temporal resolution. For both the current- and magnetic field-induced processes, the domain wall motion occurs synchronously with the excitation, indicating that an inertia-free motion of the domain wall. Furthermore, it was observed that, in the case of short current and magnetic field excitations, the domain wall remains perpendicular to the wire axis, providing a potential mechanism for a fast, tilt-free motion of magnetic domain walls in perpendicularly magnetized systems.
