We present a frequency-domain study of the dynamic behavior of a magnetic vortex core within a single Permalloy disk by means of electrical detection and micromagnetic simulations. When exciting the vortex core dynamics in a non-linear regime, the lineshape of the rectified dc signal reveals a resonance peak splitting which depends on the excitation amplitude. Using micromagnetic simulations, we show that at high excitation power the peak splitting originates from the nanosecond time scale quasi-periodic switching of the vortex core polarity. Using lock-in detection, the rectified voltage is integrated over a ms time scale, so that the net signal detected between the two resonant peaks for a given range of parameters cancels out. The results are in agreement with the reported effects of the in-plane static field magnitude on the gyration dynamics, and complement them by detailed analysis of the effects of the rf current amplitude and the azimuthal angle of the in-plane bias magnetic field. Systematic characterization shows that a transition from linear to nonlinear dynamical regime can be controlled by rf current as well as by varying the magnitude and the direction of the bias magnetic field.
