Abstract

The response of magnetic vortex cores to subnanosecond in-plane magnetic field pulses was studied by time-resolved x-ray microscopy. Vortex core reversal was observed and the switching events were located in space and time. This revealed a mechanism of coherent excitation by the leading and trailing edges of the pulse, lowering the field amplitude required for switching. The ...
