Abstract: We observed a motion of magnetic vortex core in a hexagonal Permalloy pattern by means of soft x-ray microscopy. Pump-probe stroboscopic observation on a picosecond timescale has been carried out after exciting a ground state vortex structure by an external field pulse of 1 ns duration. Vortex core is excited off from the center position of the hexagonal pattern but the analysis of the core trajectory reveals that the motion is nongyrotropic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
