Essential progress in the understanding of nonlinear magnetic vortex dynamics was achieved when low-field vortex core reversal by (sub-GHz) excitation of the vortex gyromode was observed using time-resolved scanning transmission X-ray microscopy [1]. This switching scheme, based on the creation and subsequent annihilation of a vortex-antivortex pair [1,2], has been proved to be universal and independent of the type of excitation, e.g., pulsed magnetic fields or spin transfer torque (STT).

Magnetic vortex structures possess azimuthal spin wave modes showing eigenfrequencies in the multi-GHz range. We could demonstrate [3-5] by experiments and micromagnetic simulations that even much faster unidirectional vortex core reversal can be achieved by exciting these spin wave modes with (multi-GHz) rotating magnetic fields. In that way we have been able to switch vortex cores selectively within less than 100 ps.
