Abstract
The dynamics of individual magnetic vortices and vortex pairs confined in lithographically defined ferromagnetic ellipses were measured using a microwave reflection technique. Resonance frequencies were detected in the subgigahertz range for Ni80Fe20 (Permalloy) ellipses ranging in size from 3 by 1.5μm to 1 by 0.5μm, 40nm in thickness. Micromagnetic simulations indicate that the single mode observed for one vortex is a translational mode and that the two eigenmodes associated with a vortex pair correspond to coupled translational modes of vortices with parallel or antiparallel core polarizations. The single-vortex resonance scales inversely with the ellipse size, in agreement with the simulations and analytical theory.
