Topological electromotive force from domain-wall dynamics in a ferromagnet

We formulate a local gauge-invariant theory for the electromotive force induced by domain-wall dynamics in a ferromagnet. We demonstrate that this emf generation is a real-space topological pumping effect. The integral of the emf over one pumping period is a quantized topological invariant which doe...
