Critical velocity for the vortex core reversal in perpendicular bias magnetic field

For a circular magnetic nanodot in a vortex ground state we study how the critical velocity $v_c$ of the vortex core reversal depends on the magnitude $H$ of a bias magnetic field applied perpendicularly to the dot plane. We find that, similarly to the case $H$ = 0, the critical velocity does not depend on the size of the dot. The critical velocity is dramatically reduced when the negative (i.e. opposite to the vortex core direction) bias field approaches the value, at which a \emph{static} core reversal takes place. A simple analytical model shows good agreement with our numerical result.
