Experimental and computational analysis of the angular dependence of the hysteresis processes in an antidots array.

We have experimentally characterized the magnetization processes of a square array of micron sized circular antidots lithographed on a Fe(001)/GaAs film with its diagonals along the Fe magnetocrystalline easy axes (100). Both the anisotropy and the angular dependence of the magnetization reversal we...
