We present the fabrication and structural characterization of a gated (Al,Ga)As Micro- Hall device and its application for studying the magnetic properties of iron filled carbon nanotubes. The nanomagnets have been positioned in the center of the active area of 800*800nm2 by means of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with micromanipulators. The Hall-voltage was measured under applied magnetic fields up to 1T at temperatures 5K ≤ T≤ 90K in the ballistic regime. The z-component of the stray field of the nanomagnet has been extracted and the magnetisation reversal has been studied in detail. Interestingly, we found unusual multi-step hysteresis curves which can be tentatively explained by magnetic field induced bending of the freestanding carbon nanotube. This might open the possibility of practical application as for example a nano-switch.
