Rapid progress in information technologies has spurred the need for innovative memory concepts, which advanced data-processing methods and tailor-made materials are required. Here we introduce a previously unexplored nanoscale magnetic object: an analog vortex controlled by electric-field-induced ion motion, termed magneto-ionic or "vortion". This state arises from paramagnetic FeCoN through voltage gating gradual N3– extraction within patterned nanodots. Unlike traditional states, vortions...

Submicron, circular, ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic dots exhibit different magnetization reversal mechanisms depending on the direction of magnetic applied field. Shifted, constricted hysteresis loops, typical for vortex formation, are observed fields along exchange bias direction. However, close to perpendicular direction, occurs via coherent rotation. Magnetic force microscopy imaging together with micromagnetic simulations used further clarify switching behaviors.

A magnetic vortex in a restricted geometry possesses nondegenerate translational excitation that corresponds to circular motion of its core at characteristic frequency. For 40-nm thick, micron-sized permalloy elements, we find the translational-mode microwave absorption peak splits into two peaks differ frequency by up 25% as driving field is increased. An analysis micromagnetic equations shows for large fields stable solutions emerge.
