Abstract

The effect of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction on the vortex in magnetic microdisk was investigated by micro-magnetic simulation based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Our results show that the DM interaction modifies the size of the vortex core, and also induces an out-of-plane magnetization component at the edge and inside the disk. The DM interaction can destabilizes one vortex handedness, generate a bias field to the vortex core and couple the vortex polarity and chirality. This DM-interaction-induced coupling can therefore provide a new way to control vortex polarity and chirality.
