Magnetic anisotropies of laterally confined structures of epitaxial Fe films on GaAs (001)

K. K. Meng, J. Lu, S. L. Wang, H. J. Meng, J. H. Zhao et al. We have investigated magnetic properties of laterally confined structures of epitaxial Fe films on GaAs (001). Fe films with different thicknesses were grown by molecular-beam epitaxy and patterned into regular arrays of rectangles with varying aspect ratios. In-plane magnetic anisotropy was observe ...
