We report time resolved measurements of the extraordinary hall effect (EHE) on perpendicularly magnetized nanowires with narrow domain wall (DW) structures. Using Co/Pt multilayer nanowires, we have previously shown that despite Joule heating effects it is possible to deduce the non-adiabacity factor β [1] and determined the contribution of spin torque and Oersted field effects from DW depinning experiments [2]. Time resolved experiments to measure the extraordinary hall voltage of a Hall cross show the existance of multiple metastable pinning sites, which can be used to study thermally activated depinning. The variation of an applied external field and the variation of current allows us to extract of the non-adiabaticity factor β.
