چکیده

We report on the observation of magnetic vortex dynamics in response to rotating magnetic fields in submicron platelets. Unlike linear fields or spin polarized currents, which excite both vortex core polarization states, an in-plane rotating field can selectively excite one of the polarization states. We demonstrate by direct imaging with time-resolved scanning x-ray microscopy that the rotating field only excites the gyrotropic mode if the rotation sense of the field coincides with the vortex gyration sense and that such a field can selectively reverse the vortex polarization.

Mechanism of Fast Axially Symmetric Reversal of Magnetic Vortex Core

The magnetic vortex core in a nanodot can be switched by an alternating transversal magnetic field. We propose a simple collective coordinate model, which describes the comprehensive vortex core dynamics, including the resonant behavior, weakly nonlinear regimes, and reversal dynamics. A chaotic dynamics of the vortex polarity is predicted. All analytical results are confirmed by micromagnetic ...

Nanoscale switch for vortex polarization mediated by Bloch core formation in magnetic hybrid systems

Vortices are fundamental magnetic topological structures characterized by a curling magnetization around a highly stable nanometric core. The control of the polarization of this core and its gyration is key to the utilization of vortices in technological applications. So far polarization control has been achieved in single-material structures using magnetic fields, spin-polarized currents or sp...

Resonant vortex-core reversal in magnetic nano-spheres as robust mechanism of efficient energy absorption and emission

We report on novel vortex-core reversal dynamics in nano-spheres of single-vortex spin configuration as revealed by micromagnetic simulations combined with analytical derivations. When the frequency of an AC magnetic field is tuned to the frequency of the vortex-core precession around the direction of a given static field, oscillatory vortex-core reversals occur, and additionally, the frequency...

Regular and chaotic vortex core reversal by a resonant perpendicular magnetic field

Investigation of the magnetization dynamics at the nanoscale is a key task of the modern nanomagnetism.1 One of the typical topologically nontrivial magnetic configurations of a nanoscaled magnet is a magnetic vortex, which can form a ground-state configuration of submicron-sized magnetic diskshaped particles (nanodots). Such a vortex is characterized by a curling divergent-free in-plane config...
