Abstract

Anisotropic strain relaxation in (Ga,Mn)As nanostructures was studied combining time-resolved Kerr microscopy and ferromagnetic resonance techniques. Local resonance measurements on individual narrow stripes patterned along various crystallographic directions reveal that the easy axis of the magnetization can be forced perpendicular to the strain relaxation direction. Spatially resolved ...
