Magnetic anisotropy and switching process in diluted Ga1ÀxMnxAs magnetic semiconductor films
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic anisotropy and magnetization reversal phenomena are studied in Ga12xMnxAs films grown on GaAs~001!. From the azimuthal dependence of the magneto-optical Kerr rotation and magnetic linear dichroism, the in-plane ^100& directions are unambiguously assigned as axes of easy magnetization. The values of the cubic and uniaxial anisotropies are determined. Magnetization reversal proceeds by noncoherent spin rotation and irreversible jumps by formation of 90° domains. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1601690#

Scattering mechanism of nonmagnetic phase on nano diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS)
This paper shows the scattering mechanism at diluted magneticsemiconductors. The doped magnetic atom produces a scattering potential due to becoupled of itinerant carrier spin of host material with magnetic momentum of the dopedmagnetic atom. Formulas of scattering event were rewritten by the plane waveexpansion and then the electron mobility of DMS was calculated. Calculations showKondo effect...
