英文摘要：

We study the magnetization dynamics in a nanocontact magnetic vortex oscillators as function of temperature. Low temperature experiments reveal that the dynamics at low and high currents differ qualitatively. At low currents, we excite a temperature independent standard oscillation mode, consisting in the gyrotropic motion of a free layer vortex about the nanocontact. Above a critical current, a sudden jump of the frequency is observed, concomitant with a substantial increase of the frequency versus current slope factor. Using micromagnetic simulation and analytical modeling, we associate this new regime to the creation of a vortex-antivortex pair in the pinned layer of the spin valve. The vortex-antivortex distance depends on the Oersted field which favors a separation, and on the exchange bias field, which favors pair merging. The pair in the pinned layer provides an additional spin torque altering the dynamics of the free layer vortex, which can be quantitatively accounted for by an analytical model.

Dynamics of vortex-antivortex pairs in ferromagnets

We study the dynamics of vortex-antivortex (VA) pairs in an infinitely thin ferromagnetic film with easy-plane anisotropy. These are localized excitations with finite energy that are characterized by a topological (skyrmion) number N = 0,+1,-1. Topologically trivial (N=0) VA pairs undergo Kelvin motion analogous to that encountered in fluid dynamics. In contrast, topologically nontrivial (N = +1,-1) VA pairs perform rotational motion around a fixed guiding center. We present the results of a detailed study in both cases and further demonstrate that in the presence of dissipation a rotating N =…

Formation of vortex and antivortex polarization states in ferroelectric films

An effort based on the kinetic model allowed by Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory is presented here. The formation of vortex, antivortex states in ferroelectric films are reported and theoretically explained. Phase transition in toroidal moment is observed. Vortex-antivortex-vortex (V-AV-V) triplet is generated by applying inhomogeneous transverse static localized fields in x-y plane. A specific boundary condition is used to keep the spirit of vortex state i.e. the net polarization across the boundary is always zero. %This is neither a periodic nor an open circuit electric boundary condition.

Electrically stabilized magnetic vortex and antivortex states in magnetic dielectrics

The micromagnetic distribution in a dielectric nanoparticle is theoretically considered. It is shown that the existence of inhomogeneous magnetoelectric interaction in magnetic dielectrics provides the possibility to stabilize the vortex and antivortex state. The estimation of the critical voltage necessary for vortex/antivortex nucleation in bismuth ferrite and iron garnet nanoparticles yields a value of +/-150 V. This system can be considered as electrically switchable two state-logic magnetic element.

Ultrafast dynamics of a magnetic antivortex - Micromagnetic simulations

The antivortex is a fundamental magnetization structure which is the topological counterpart of the well-known magnetic vortex. We study here the ultrafast dynamic behavior of an isolated antivortex in a patterned Permalloy thin-film element. Using micromagnetic simulations we predict that the antivortex response to an ultrashort external field pulse is characterized by the production of a new antivortex as well as of a temporary vortex, followed by an annihilation process. These processes are complementary to the recently reported response of a vortex and, like for the vortex, lead to the rev…

Criterion for transformation of transverse domain wall to vortex or antivortex wall in soft magnetic thin-film nanostripes

We report on the criterion for the dynamic transformation of the internal structure of moving domain walls (DWs) in soft magnetic thin-film nanostripes above the Walker threshold field, Hw. In order for the process of transformation from transverse wall (TW) to vortex wall (VW) or antivortex wall (AVW) occurs, the edge-soliton core of the TW-type DW should grow sufficiently to the full width at half maximum of the out-of-plane magnetizations of the core area of the stabilized vortex (or antivortex) by moving inward along the transverse (width) direction. Upon completion of the nucleation of th…

Direct observation of the proliferation of ferroelectric loop domains and vortex-antivortex pairs

We discovered "stripe" patterns of trimerization-ferroelectric domains in hexagonal REMnO3 (RE=Ho, ---, Lu) crystals (grown below ferroelectric transition temperatures (Tc), reaching up to 1435 oC), in contrast with the vortex patterns in YMnO3. These stripe patterns roughen with the appearance of numerous loop domains through thermal annealing just below Tc, but the stripe domain patterns turn to vortex-antivortex domain patterns through a freezing process when crystals cross Tc even though the phase transition appears not to be Kosterlitz-Thouless-type. The experimental systematics are compa…

Spin Dynamics of a Magnetic Antivortex

We report on a study of the dynamics of a magnetic antivortex in a submicron, asteroid shaped, permalloy ferromagnet using micromagnetic simulations. As with vortex states in disk and square geometries, a gyrotropic mode was found in which a shifted antivortex core orbits about the center of the asteroid. Pulsed magnetic fields were used to generate azimuthal or radial spin wave modes, depending on the field orientation. The degeneracy of low frequency azimuthal mode frequencies is lifted by gyrotropic motion of the antivortex core, and restored by inserting a hole in the center of the particl…

Precessing vortices and antivortices in ferromagnetic elements

A micromagnetic numerical study of the precessional motion of the vortex and antivortex states in soft ferromagnetic circular nanodots is presented using Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert dynamics. For sufficiently small dot thickness and diameter, the vortex state is metastable and spirals toward the center of the dot when its initial displacement is smaller than a critical value. Otherwise, the vortex spirals away from the center and eventually exits the dot which remains in a state of in-plane magnetization (ground state). In contrast, the antivortex is always unstable and performs damped precession …

Rotating vortex dipoles in ferromagnets

Vortex-antivortex pairs are localized excitations and have been found to be spontaneously created in magnetic elements. In the case that the vortex and the antivortex have opposite polarities the pair has a nonzero topological charge, and it behaves as a rotating vortex dipole. We find theoretically, and confirm numerically, the form of the energy as a function of the angular momentum of the system and the associated rotation frequencies. We discuss the process of annihilation of the pair which changes the topological charge of the system by unity while its energy is monotonically decreasing. …

Optical Manipulation of Magnetic Vortex Visualized in situ by 4D Electron Microscopy

Understanding the fundamental dynamics of topological vortex and antivortex naturally formed in micro/nanoscale ferromagnetic building blocks under external perturbations is crucial to magnetic vortex based information processing and spintronic devices. All previous studies have focused on magnetic vortex-core switching via external magnetic fields, spin-polarized currents, or spin waves, which have largely prohibited the investigation of novel spin configurations that could emerge from the ground states in ferromagnetic disks and their underlying dynamics. Here, we report in situ visualizatio…

Nanomagnetic toggle switching of vortex cores on the picosecond time scale

We present an ultrafast route for a controlled, toggle switching of magnetic vortex cores with ultrashort unipolar magnetic field pulses. The switching process is found to be largely insensitive to extrinsic parameters, like sample size and shape, and it is faster than any field-driven magnetization reversal process previously known from micromagnetic theory. Micromagnetic simulations demonstrate that the vortex core reversal is mediated by a rapid sequence of vortex-antivortex pair-creation and annihilation sub-processes. Specific combinations of field pulse strength and duration are required…
