| Summary: | The dynamic behaviors of vortex-core magnetization reversals in soft magnetic nanodisks driven by oscillating magnetic fields applied
perpendicularly
to the disk plane were studied by means of micromagnetic numerical simulations. It was found that when the field frequencies are tuned to the eigenfrequencies of radial spin-wave modes, the threshold field amplitudes required for vortex-core switching are an order of magnitude smaller than those of static perpendicular fields. The reversal mechanism and associated underlying physics are completely different from those of vortex-antivortex-pair-mediated core reversals. The results reflect the achievement of an alternative efficient means of ultrafast vortex-core switching. |
