Sumario:[EN] The current-driven domain wall dynamics along ferrimagnetic elements are here theoretically analyzed as a function of temperature by means of micromagnetic simulations and a one dimensional model. Contrarily to conventional effective approaches, our model takes into account the two coupled ferromagnetic sublattices forming the ferrimagnetic element. Although the model is suitable for elements with asymmetric exchange interaction and spin-orbit coupling effects due to adjacent heavy metal layers, we here focus our attention on the case of single-layer ferrimagnetic strips where domain walls adopt achiral Bloch configurations at rest. Such domain walls can be driven by either out-of-plane fields or spin transfer torques upon bulk current injection. Our results indicate that the domain wall velocity is optimized at the angular compensation temperature for both field-driven and current-driven cases. Our advanced models allow us to infer that the precession of the internal domain wall moments is suppressed at such compensation temperature, and they will be useful to interpret state-of-the art experiments on these elements.
