Abstract
Spin-polarized current in a ferromagnet is known to lead to the instability of the uniformly magnetized state. In this paper, it is demonstrated by micromagnetic simulations that, in films or wide wires, the above instability is followed by the formation of magnetic vortices. Subsequent magnetization dynamics is also studied in terms of vortices, which includes pair dynamics and pair annihilation. Using a simple analytical model that considers the vortices as points, the dynamics of two interacting vortices under the current is classified according to their vorticity and polarity. This explains well the essential features of the simulation results.
