Abstract: We choose a confined point-contact geometry as research model. Steady-state oscillations of magnetic vortex driven by a spin-polarized current are calculated with analytical calculations based on Thiele's equation. It indicates that magnetic vortex can maintain steady oscillations in a specific current range. Current density range depends on nanocontact dimensions and dot aspect ratios. Both orbital radius and frequency of steady oscillations increases with current density. Adjustable range of oscillation frequency decreases dramatically with increasing nanoeontaet size.
