Magnetoresistance and Hall Effect in the Ferromagnetic Semiconductor GaMnAs

Materials Science 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The resistivity, temperature, and magnetic field dependence of the anomalous Hall effect in a series of metallic Ga1-xMnxAs thin films with 0.015=<x=<0.08 is presented. A quadratic dependence of the anomalous Hall resistance on the resistivity is observed, with a magnitude which is in agreement with Berry phase theories of the anomalous Hall effect in dilute magnetic semiconductors.
