Antidot lattices in magnetic materials can be a way to form artificial magnonic lattices as an approach towards spin-wave filters for spintronics [1]. Furthermore, the introduction of an antidot lattice provides a significant modification of static properties of the samples like the coercivity and magnetic anisotropy [2]. In this work we present results from investigations into the static regime of antidot lattice properties of in-plane (Fe) and out-of-plane (GdFe) systems. Results from x-ray microscopy indicate control over the formation and propagation of magnetic domains by the antidot pattern. Angular and spatially resolved MOKE measurements prove that the easy axes orientation is governed by the antidot lattice geometry, resulting in a six-fold symmetry of preferential magnetic axes. We present two distinct magnetisation reversal mechanisms occurring along the easy and hard axes in the antidot lattice.
