Abstract
Structural properties of epitaxial ferromagnetic MnSb layers were char acterized. The layers were directly grown on GaAs(100) substrates by h ot-wall epitaxy. The MnSb c-planes are parallel to GaAs{111}A planes, which leads to double domain configuration. The generation of the doub le domain is suppressed by using misoriented substrates towards GaAs[0 11]. Transmission electron microscope observation revealed the faceted structure of the layer and the generation of unintentional protrusion s at the interface.
