Abstract
We study spin-wave excitations in a circular ferromagnetic nanodot in different inhomogeneous, topologically non-trivial magnetization states, specifically, vortex and skyrmion states. Gradual change in the strength of the out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange interaction leads to continuous phase transitions between different stable magnetic configurations and allows for mapping of dynamic spin modes in and between the vortex, Bloch-type skyrmion and N\'eel-type skyrmion states. Our study elucidates the connections between gyrotropic modes, azimuthal spin waves and breathing modes in various stable magnetization states and helps to understand the rich spin excitation spectrum on the skyrmion background.
