Manipulating the magnetic anisotropy in the ferromagnetic semiconductor Gallium Manganese Arsenide

Since its first successful growth in 1996, the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)- As has had a great inuence on the research field of semiconductor spintronics. Among the outstanding characteristics of this material the large spin-orbit interaction for the holes in the valence band plays a major r...
