Dynamics of a nanoscale ferromagnetic vortex
Abstract
We propose a ferromagnetic vortex stabilized by the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya interaction (iDMI) and investigate its properties through theoretical analysis and micromagnetic simulations. Our results demonstrate that this vortex can remain stable even in nanoscale ferromagnetic disks with radii below 5 nm---far smaller than those of conventional nanodot vortices having about 1 μm radius. We analytically solve the nonlinear equation of motion describing the anharmonic vortex oscillation, and identify the critical frequency that determines the stability of the driven oscillation of the vortex. This nanoscale vortex exhibits conventional properties of microscale vortices, including gyrotropic oscillation and resonance frequency shift under an out-of-plane magnetic field. It also exhibits unconventional behaviors, such as a strongly anharmonic potential, nonlinear oscillations, and a Duffing-oscillator-like response under the external AC bias.
