Gyration of magnetic vortices in anharmonic potentials — •Christian Adolff, Michael Martens, Thomas Kamionka, Ulrich Merkt, and Guido Meier — Institut für Angewandte Physik und Zentrum für Mikrostrukturforschung, Universität Hamburg, Jungiustr. 11, 20355 Hamburg, Germany

Magnetic vortices inherently form in soft ferromagnetic thin-film elements. They can be described as quasiparticles in confining potentials with eigenfrequencies in the sub-gigahertz range [1, 2]. We investigate the excitation of magnetic vortices in permalloy squares with side lengths of up to five micrometers. Strongly excited vortex cores move near to the edges of the squares where significant deviations from a parabolic potential occur. Analyzing the eigenfrequency of the vortex for different geometries, i.e. side lengths and thicknesses, gives insight into isotropic and anisotropic terms of the potential. These are studied by means of ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy, micromagnetic simulations and analytical calculations.
