The ladder-type magnetic structure and magnetization reversal process of MnAs films on GaAs(001) were investigated using magnetic force microscopy, Kerr microscopy, and micromagnetic simulations. Micromagnetic simulations provided good reproduction of the experimental results for the ladder-type structure of the MnAs films for remanent states and the magnetization reversal process. The simulated magnetization reversal process shows that magnetostatic interactions between ferromagnetic stripes play an important role to form this structure in the MnAs system. The dependence of the magnetic structure on the saturation magnetization and magnetic anisotropy indicates that uniaxial hard magnetic anisotropy along the strips, a large saturation magnetization, and a large magnetic anisotropy are necessary to obtain the ladder-type magnetic structure.
