Correlations between the surface morphology and the atomic structure of thin layers of Fe3Si on GaAs(001) and their magnetic properties — •Sani Noor1, Igor Barsukov2, M.

Among the FM/SC combinations that represent one possible approach necessary for the realization of spintronic devices Fe3Si/GaAs is an interesting choice due to its properties like a low lattice mismatch, half-metallic behaviour and high thermal stability.

In this contribution we consider the structural and magnetic properties of thin near-stoichiometric Fe3Si layers on GaAs(001) with varying thicknesses. Methods employed include STM, LEED, in situ MOKE, SQUID magnetometry and FMR. Emphasis is laid on the correlations between these properties such the nucleation at low coverage and its superparamagnetic behaviour and the layer morphology at higher coverage and magnetic anisotropies. Furthermore, atomic scale STM data is compared with STM simulations.
