Abstract

Magnetic vortex gyration in a 500 nm wide, 50 nm thick Permalloy square\nplatelet was investigated using time-resolved scanning transmission x-ray\nmicroscopy and micromagnetic simulations. The response of the vortex core on an\nin-plane oscillating magnetic field was studied as a function of the excitation\nfrequency and amplitude. Non-linear behavior was observed in the form of a\nredshift of the gyrotropic resonance. I.e., when the excitation amplitude was\nincreased, the resonance frequency was found to decrease. The nonlinearity is\nin agreement with extensive micromagnetic simulations. This work complements\nprevious reports on thinner nanostructures where a frequency blueshift was\nobserved.\n
