Abstract

We report the dynamical behaviors of magnetic vortices in different Permalloy nanodisks induced by an out-of-plane spin-polarized current in an off-centered nanocontact geometry through micromagnetic simulation. Simulation results show that the dynamical behaviors of magnetic vortex are sensitive to nanocontact position and the dimension of nanodisks. The influences of nanocontact position on the vortex core pinning behavior, the critical switching current density and switching time are analyzed deeply. Non-circular symmetry of system total energy in such off-centered geometry leads to the magnetic vortex easy to be excited in all nanodisks. The thicker nanodisks are beneficial to the magnetic vortex pinning, and the vortex is easier to exhibit gyration in the thinner nanodisks. We put forward an effective method to control the magnetic vortex position, thus improving the possibility of using magnetic vortex as a candidate for magnetic memory and logical devices.
