The magnetic properties of Fe3Si/GaAs(001) hybrid structures are studied. The ferromagnetic films show a high crystalline and interfacial perfection [1]. Structural characterization and SQUID magnetometry has been done [2]. We present ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) studies showing an exceptional narrow linewidth (<17 Oe) confirming the high structural quality. Secondly, anisotropy fields are determined. The easy axis of magnetization is the in-plane [010] direction. The angular dependence of the resonance field reveals a small uniaxial in-plane anisotropy field of ≈10 – 20 G along the [110] direction, being not equivalent to the [110] direction. For samples with higher Si content (less Fe) the in-plane anisotropy field is smaller.
