Switching of the vortex polarity in a magnetic nanodisk by a DC current

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2007-08-26 v2

Abstract

We study the dynamics of a vortex state nanodisk due to a dc spin current, perpendicular to the disk plane. The irreversible switching of the vortex polarity takes place above some threshold current. The detailed description of these processes is obtained by spin-lattice simulations.
