Abstract
We investigate the dependence of the vortex formation process on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) constant in a perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction using micromagnetic simulations. Based on the different precession trajectories of magnetic moments, the formation process of a vortex can be divided into two different models: the first includes horizontal precession and damped oscillation, and the second includes damped oscillation only. The time of vortex formation has a nonmonotonic relationship with the PMA constant. By analyzing the variation trend of energies within the system, the underlying physical mechanism of the dependence of the vortex formation process on PMA constant is revealed.
