Abstract
Low-temperature properties of thin iron films prepared by DC magnetron sput tering on single-crystal GaAs (001) substrates have been investigated by me ans of FMR measurements. It was found in the presence of both the fourfold and twofold anisotropy. Both of them depend strongly on the thickness of th e film. It means that the surface anisotropy determines not only the value of the twofold anisotropy but also the fourfold one. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scie nce B.V. All rights reserved.
