Switching the chirality of a magnetic vortex deterministically with an electric field

Deterministic switching of a magnetic vortex with an electric field is challenging because electric fields cannot break time-reversal symmetry. Here we demonstrate, using phase-field simulations, a deterministic switching of the vortex chirality in a triangle-shaped nanomagnet by applying an electri...
