Abstract
Switching the orientation of a vortex core by spin-polarised pulse current introduces a promising concept for the reliable addressing of a single nanodisc element inside dense arrays. In this paper, micromagnetic simulations are employed to study the vortex core switching behaviour excited by a short in-plane Gaussian current pulse. We find that both the switching mechanism and the switching time are not sensitive to changes in the phenomenological parameters of spin-torque nonadiabaticity and Gilbert damping. The switching time, however, strongly depends on the current strength. In addition, we have theoretically predicted the parameter range of current pulses to achieve a single switching event.
