Abstract

The magnetization dynamics of a single, patterned, thin-film Permalloy (Ni80Fe20, Py) elements embedded in a coplanar waveguide (CPW) are investigated. The anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) effect serves as the detection mechanism in current-modulated differential resistance (dV/dI) measurements, which reveal formation and dislocation of vortices. Driving the system with a radio frequency (RF) signal tuned to the resonance frequency of the vortex motion results in fluctuations in the vortex average positions, as observed in time dependent measurements. At particular values of the fixed bias field and RF signal frequency, the average positions of the vortex cores move between distinct states.
