Abstract

A single vortex-core switching induced by current injection into a ferromagnetic disk is detected in real time using a three-terminal device with the tunneling magnetoresistance junction. The real time observation reveals that the electrical core switching is completed within a few 100 ps. It is also found that the core switching takes place at the specific positions inside the disk.
