Vortex core switching by coherent excitation with single in-plane magnetic field pulses.
The response of magnetic vortex cores to subnanosecond in-plane magnetic field pulses was studied by time-resolved x-ray microscopy. Vortex core reversal was observed and the switching events were located in space and time. This revealed a mechanism of coherent excitation by the leading and trailing edges of the pulse, lowering the field amplitude required for switching. The mechanism was confi...
متن کاملDynamic origin of vortex core switching in soft magnetic nanodots.
The magnetic vortex with in-plane curling magnetization and out-of-plane magnetization at the core is a unique ground state in nanoscale magnetic elements. This kind of magnetic vortex can be used, through its downward or upward core orientation, as a memory unit for information storage, and thus, controllable core switching deserves some special attention. Our analytical and micromagnetic calc...
متن کاملUniversal criterion and phase diagram for switching a magnetic vortex core in soft magnetic nanodots.
The universal criterion for ultrafast vortex-core switching between the up- and down-core bistates in soft magnetic nanodots is investigated by micromagnetic simulations along with vortex-core switching that occurs whenever the velocity of vortex-core motion reaches its critical velocity, upsilon cri = (1.66 +/- 0.18) gamma mean square root of Aex (e.g., upsilon cri = 330 +/- 37 m/s for Permall...
متن کاملNanosecond switching in thin magnetic films
A special pulse equipment including a pulse-sampling oscilloscope with an over-all response time of 0.35 nanosecond sec) for the observation of the nanosecond flux change in thin permalloy films is described. Film switching signals a s short a s 1 nanosecond have been obtained and are discussed with respect to the underlying processes. Inverse switching time versus driving-field curves have bee...
متن کاملVortex polarity switching by a spin-polarized current.
The spin-transfer effect is investigated for the vortex state of a magnetic nanodot. A spin current is shown to act similarly to an effective magnetic field perpendicular to the nanodot. Then a vortex with magnetization (polarity) parallel to the current polarization is energetically favorable. Following a simple energy analysis and using direct spin-lattice simulations, we predict the polarity...
