contents Magnetic solitons are nonlinear, local excitations in magnetic systems. In this study, we theoretically and numerically investigate the properties and generation of one-dimensional (1D) topologically trivial magnetic solitons in ferromagnetic nanowires. An approximate analytical soliton solution described by two free parameters is validated by comparing with the micromagnetic simulation. Across an interface between two media of different anisotropy, the reflection and refraction of a soliton are highly nonlinear that are different from the linear spin waves. A pair of magnetic solitons that propagate in opposite directions can be generated by alternately applying magnetic field or spin-polarized current pulses of opposite directions to at least two successive regions. Each soliton falls into a soliton solution that can be controlled by the generation process. These magnetic solitons can be used to drive domain wall motion over a certain distance determined by the soliton magnitude, allowing for discrete manipulation of domain walls compatible with the digital nature of information technology. Our findings pave the way for the application of topologically trivial solitons in spintronics.
