Abstract

We show by a combined magnetic force microscopy and synchrotron radiation spectroscopy study that stripe-like patterned magnetic domains are present in Fe_1−xGa_x thin films. These stripes, whose origin is attributed to an out-of-plane magnetic component, can be rotated by an external magnetic field.
