Using selective-area MOVPE on pre-patterned substrates different arrangements of ferromagnetic MnAs nanoclusters and cluster chains were prepared. The single nanoclusters have a length of 730 nm and a width of 300 nm. FMR and MFM measurements confirm an orientation of the cluster magnetization along the clusters’ main axes of elongation. Magneto-transport measurements were performed in the temperature range from 15 to 280 K in external magnetic fields up to 10 T. A strong dependence of the magnetoresistance effects on cluster arrangement can be observed. At low temperatures also angle-dependent measurements of the transport through the paramagnetic matrix were investigated. In-plane as well as in out-of-plane geometry the magnetoresistance behaviour shows deviations from an expected sine-dependence of the matrix. This behaviour can be described qualitatively by a simple model taking an average behaviour of the nanoclusters’ magnetizations into account.
