21. The excitation field amplitudes in Refs. are 3 and 6 mT, respectively. In Ref., the field amplitude is not estimated. However, the core shift amplitude is small, which suggests that the field was within the linear regime.

25. In Ref., the frequency of excitation was 62.5 MHz. Additional data taken on Permalloy squares of the same size and thickness using our low-frequency excitation scheme show that the gyrotropic mode frequency is ∼35 MHz. Thus, the core trajectory should be elongated rather than circular; see K. S. Lee and S. K. Kim, Phys. Rev. B 78, 014405 (2008). 10.1103/PhysRevB.78.014405
