Abstract
Magnetic vortex, as one of the most interesting magnetic solitons, has attracted great interests in the past two decades. A fast and reliable method to switch vortex polarity and chirality is one of the key issues for various applications. Based on micromagnetic simulation, here we report a fast, low energy cost and deterministic switching of vortex core, through the designing of a notch structure in disks and the use of out-of-plane current geometry. We demonstrate that with such design, the multiple switching problems found in notch disk system can be avoided. Furthermore, the switching time can be reduced by more than 50% compared with disks without notch.
