The magnetic vortex is a potential candidate for future spintronic devices, like frequency sensors [S. Kasai, et al. PRL 97, 107204 (2006)] [R. Moriya, et al. Nat. Phys. 4:368 (2008)], spin torque oscillators [V. S. Pribiag, et al. Nat. Phys. 3:498 (2007)], and tunable magnonic crystals [J. Shibata, et al. PRB 67, 224404 (2003)]. The fundamental frequency is determined by the saturation magnetisation, as well as the geometrical confinement of the magnetisation i.e. the diameter and height of a magnetic disk. In this study, Permalloy disks (with radii ranging from 500nm to 4000nm) are patterned and contacted to study the interaction of spin polarized current on the magnetic vortex. The presence of vortex is verified by magneto optic Kerr effect, X-ray photoemission electron microscopy and magnetotransport measurements. The resonance frequency is measured using a lock-in technique based on the anisotropic magnetoresistance effect. Modification of the resonance frequency by ion irradiation will be presented.
