Popis:	We present the results of a systematic study of the evolution of magnetic anisotropies of epitaxial Fe films grown on GaAs (001) and (110) substrates and also on epitaxial Ag buffer layers. The anisotropy was studied in-situ with the magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE). This provides a qualitative thickness dependence of the in-plane magnetic anisotropy for single films on the same substrate surface, thus avoiding any uncertainties due to different substrate morphologies. These in-situ studies are complemented by ex-situ MOKE, Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS), and Lorentz microscopy measurements which reveal the relation between the magnetization reversal processes and magnetic anisotropy behaviour on a macroscopic and microscopic scale.
