Single crystal Fe films grown on GaAs substrates

W. Wettling, R.S. Smith, W. Jantz and P.M. Ganser

Fe films epitaxially grown on GaAs substrates have been prepared and 
investigated. On {110} surfaces, single crystal films are obtained. The 
magnetic properties are investigated using ferromagnetic resonance and 
inelastic light scattering from surface magnons. A satisfactory 
interpretation is obtained by assuming cubic and growth-induced tilted 
uniaxial anisotropy.
