We show by a combined magnetic force microscopy and synchrotron radiation spectroscopy study that stripe-like patterned magnetic domains are present in Fe1-xGax thin films. These stripes, whose origin is attributed to an out-of-plane magnetic component, can be rotated by an external magnetic field.
