Abstract
The magnetic domain structure and magnetic properties of a ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As epilayer with perpendicular magnetic easy axis are investigated. We show that despite strong hysteresis domain theory at thermodynamical equilibrium can be used to determine the micromagnetic parameters. Combining magneto-optical Kerr microscopy, magnetometry, and ferromagnetic resonance measurements, we obtain the characteristic parameter for magnetic domains ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{c}$, the domain wall width and specific energy, and the spin stiffness constant as a function of temperature. The nucleation barrier for magnetization reversal and the Walker breakdown velocity for field-driven domain wall propagation are also estimated.
