The thickness dependence of the in-plane uniaxial anisotropy and coercive field of epitaxial MnAs thin films on GaAs (0 0 1) substrates has been determined from the magneto-optic Kerr effect. The metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy grown films are single a phase at room temperature with a B-type varian

โฆ Synopsis
In this contribution we present a study of the magnetic properties of MnAs thin films grown over GaAs(1 1 1) substrates, performed by ferromagnetic resonance experiments. We have calculated the magneto-crystalline anisotropy of the system analyzing the angular dependence of the resonance field with the applied field direction. The anisotropy measured for these films is much smaller than the calculated for MnAs bulk samples and MnAs/GaAs(1 0 0) thin films. We propose different microscopic mechanism for addressing the change in the anisotropy.

We have investigated the initial growth mechanism of MnAs on GaAs(0 0 1)-c(4 ร 4)a reconstructed surfaces. We found that the MnAs deposition on GaAs(0 0 1)-c(4 ร 4)a surface promotes to break the Ga-As asymmetric dimers and modulates the dimer characteristics to symmetric As-As dimer formation on th
The structural, magnetic and transport properties of Co/GaAs (1 0 0) and Co/glass thin films have been investigated. The structural measurements reveal the crystalline nature of Co thin film grown on GaAs, while microcrystalline nature in case of glass substrate. The film grown on GaAs shows higher
