摘要：

We demonstrate the determination of the vortex chirality using a nonlocal spin-valve measurement technique in a lateral spin valve consisting of a Permalloy (Py) disk 1 mu m in diameter and a Py wire 100 nm in width. The vortex chirality is determined under two probe configurations; the disk as the current probe and the disk as the voltage probe. The vortex chirality is found to depend on the probe configuration because of the current-induced Oersted field. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
