Abstracts

We report on cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and magnetic force microscopy studies performed on self-organized MnAs nanoclusters embedded in GaAs. It was found that 10÷20 nm large MnAs ferromagnetic nanocrystals were formed during rapid thermal annealing of Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs layers at 600ºC, leading to magnetic contrasts in magnetic force microscopy images.
