Magnetic hysteresis is usually measured to determine sample-specific parameters such as the coercive field and the remanent magnetization and provides a measure of the bulk magnetic properties. Pike et al. have developed a method to gain more insight into magnetic interaction effects by the acquisition of a class of minor loops known as first order reversal curves (FORCs) [1]. Here, we discuss the application of the FORC method to micro- and nano-sized magnetic structures by combining it with micro-Hall magnetometry. The latter is an ultra-sensitive technique suitable for measuring small arrays and even individual magnetic particle positioned on top of the Hall sensor. Our sensors are based on a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure and allow for measuring a Hall voltage which is proportional to the z-component of the local magnetic stray field. We discuss different magnetic systems, as e.g. the interaction between individual ferromagnetic micro-grains or coupling effects in an artificial spin-ice structure.
