Magnetotransport and magnetocrystalline anisotropy studies of gallium manganese arsenide thin films

The ferromagnetic semiconductor gallium manganese arsenide is an important test-bed material for spintronics applications. Whilst a Curie temperature anywhere close to room temperature has yet to be demonstrated, the excellent micromagnetic properties, simple band structure and unusual combination o...
