The switching process of the vortex core in a Permalloy nanodisk affected by a rotating magnetic field is studied theoretically. A detailed description of magnetization dynamics is obtained by micromagnetic simulations
Supplementary materials
The switching dymanics of permalloy disk was obtained using OOMMF numerical simulations.
Geometry parameters:
- shape – disk
- disk diameter – 132 nm
- disk thickness – 20 nm
Material parameters:
- material name – permalloy
- saturation magnetization – 8.6e5 A/m
- exchange constant – 1.3e-11 J/m
- damping constant – 0.006
The dynamics of the perpendicular to the disk plane magnetization component.
The magnetic field orientation is denoted by the arrow. The parameters of applied mag. field are the following:
- amplitude – 0.02 T
- frequency – 10 GHz (orientation is oposite to the vortex core polarization)
The dynamics of the in-plane magnetization component.
The out-of-plane magnetic field component is denoted by the levels of gray color. The parameters of applied mag. field are the following:
- amplitude – 0.07 T
- frequency – 10 GHz (orientation is oposite to the vortex core polarization)
The dashed blue and the solid yellow curves represent My=0 and Mx=0 isosurfaces, respectively; the black and the white curves correspond to Mz/MS = 0.75 and Mz/MS=-0.75 isosurfaces, respectively.
