Nonlinear magnetic vortex dynamics in a circular nanodot excited by spin-polarized current

چکیده
We investigate analytically and numerically nonlinear vortex spin torque oscillator dynamics in a circular magnetic nanodot induced by a spin-polarized current perpendicular to the dot plane. We use a generalized nonlinear Thiele equation including spin-torque term by Slonczewski for describing the nanosize vortex core transient and steady orbit motions and analyze nonlinear contributions to all forces in this equation. Blue shift of the nano-oscillator frequency increasing the current is explained by a combination of the exchange, magnetostatic, and Zeeman energy contributions to the frequency nonlinear coefficient. Applicability and limitations of the standard nonlinear nano-oscillator model are discussed.

Current-driven resonant exci tat ion of magnet ic vortex
A magnetic vortex core in a ferromagnetic circular nanodot has a resonance frequency originating from the confinement of the vortex core. By the micromagnetic simulation including the spin-transfer torque, we show that the vortex core can be resonantly excited by an AC (spin-polarized) current through the dot and that the resonance frequency can be tuned by the dot shape. The resistance measure...
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...

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 ...

Amagnetic nanoparticle in a vortex state is a promising candidate for the information storage. One bit of information corresponds to the upward or downward magnetization of the vortex core (vortex polarity). The dynamics of the magnetic vortex driven by a spin current is studied theoretically. Using a simple analytical model and numerical simulations, we show that a nondecaying vortex motion ca...
متن کاملExcitation of spin dynamics by spin-polarized current in vortex state magnetic disks.
A spin-polarized current with the polarization direction perpendicular to a disk in the vortex ground state will result in renormalization of the effective damping of excitations on this state. As the current is increased to a threshold current Ic the effective damping will be zero and the lowest threshold current corresponds to the vortex gyrotropic mode. For larger values of the current the e...
