Multiple geometrical conditions for different magnetic vortex states to appear in micrometer-sized magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) are investigated in experiment and simulation. Both results match up well, providing clear images of vortex behaviors. We pattern a compact array of single-vortex MTJ elements and perform magnetotransport and noise measurements. This sensor features nonhysteretic behavior, a small size of 0.5 x 0.5 mm(2), a low normalized noise of 10(-13) Hz(-1), a detectability of 18 nT/root Hz at 1 Hz, and a large dynamic range of 100 Oe. Its 115 dB broad dynamic reserve and superior stability against temperature and environmental stray fields are ideally suited for magnetic sensing applications.
