Square lattice arrays of thin micro- and nanoelements of iron and permalloy are investigated by magnetic transmission x-ray microscopy. The influence of dipole interaction is analyzed by varying the inter-element distance, the angle of the applied magnetic field, and the lattice configuration. For the iron squares the magnetostatic field caused by inter-element interaction leads to a substantial stabilization of the center elements of the array [1] comparable to the magnetization process previously found by numerical solution of the Landau-Lifshitz equation for magnetic dot arrays. Micromagnetic simulations show, that for high field strengths the dipolar interaction is collinear with the external field, while in the low-field-regime the strayfields have significant perpendicular components leading to a complex reversal mechanism.
