Understanding the submicron domain structure of MnAs thin films on GaAs(001): Magnetic force microscopy measurements and simulations

The domain patterns of ferromagnetic MnAs wires on GaAs(001) were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and SQUID magnetometry. The MnAs films break up into ordered arrays of submicron-sized ferromagnetic α and paramagnetic β wires on GaAs(001) substrates. A...
