  The dependence of saturation magnetization and uniaxial anisotropy constant on current-induced domain wall motion in a magnetic nanowire with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was analyzed through micromagnetic simulation. The results indicated that the critical current density linearly decreased by reducing the saturation magnetization. Even if the domain wall width was changed by the uniaxial anisotropy constant, the domain wall width did not influence the critical current density since the increase in the domain wall width anisotropy constant caused an increase in the effective wall anisotropy. It was revealed that the decrease in the saturation magnetization was the dominant factor in reducing the critical current density.
