Abstract

We report our study on the emission response of a magnetic nanocontact with dynamic polarizer in perpendicular magnetic field. In this configuration three modes are accessible, two of which correspond to the precessional motion of a vortex in one of the two ferromagnetic layers with the other working as a static polarizer. At high currents a third mode can be observed that is ascribed to the simultaneous precession of two vortices, one in each layer, with the other layer working as a dynamic polarizer.
