Abstract

We study the influence of the vortex core on magnetotransport of ferromagnetic dots in a vortex state. The extraordinary Hall effect generated in the core region has a different field symmetry compared to contributions of anisotropic magnetoresistance and the planar Hall effect, which can be used to detect chirality and polarity of the vortex. We propose a method for realization of two-bit per dot magnetic random access memory, in which two states are contributed by clockwise and counter-clockwise chirality and two by up and down core polarity. Dependence of the signal on vortex location, core diameter, and other parameters is discussed.
