A spin-polarized current flowing through a ferromagnetic sample exerts a spin-torque on the local magnetic moments. This interaction can be described by adding two current-dependent torque terms to the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.[1] The strength of the non-adiabatic spin torque is under debate since measurements differ by one order of magnitude.

A vortex in a micro- or nanostructured magnetic thin-film element is a promising system for the investigation of the spin-torque effect. It is known that vortices are displaced from their equilibrium position when excited by spin-polarized electric currents. The spatial confinement of the vortex core within the film element yields an especially accessible system for measurements. Based on analytical calculations[2] it is possible to derive a robust scheme which allows to measure the contributions due to the adiabatic spin torque, the non-adiabatic spin torque, and the Oersted field separately.
