The magnetoelastic (ME) coupling has recently become of interest thanks to its numerous applications, e.g. in the fabrication of magnetoelectric multiferroics. This effect has been recently studied quasi-statically on micro- and nanostructured magnetostrictive materials strained using piezoelectric substrates. However, due to limitations in the radio frequency (RF) properties of piezoelectric materials, the influence of the ME coupling on the magneto-dynamical processes has not yet been investigated in depth. Here, thanks to a newly-developed approach that allows the in-situ straining of magnetostrictive materials whilst preserving good RF properties of the substrate, we present a first study of the influence of the ME coupling on the gyration dynamics of magnetic vortices in microstructured magnetostrictive elements using time-resolved x-ray magnetic microscopy. In particular, we observe that the application of a strain to the magnetostrictive material leads to a reduction of the gyration eigenfrequency, and to a modification of the orbit of the vortex core, both of which can be controlled by changing the magnitude of the applied strain.
