The magnetoresistance in a series of Ga1-xMnxAs samples with 0.2 =< x =< 0.8 have been measured for three mutually orthogonal orientations of the external magnetic field. The anisotropy magnetoresistance decreases with increasing of the Mn…
It is generally understood that the resistivity of metal thin films scales with film thickness mainly due to grain boundary and boundary surface scattering. Recently, several experiments and ab initio simulations have demonstrated the…

When grains are added to a cylinder, the weight at the bottom is smaller than the total weight of the column, which is partially supported by the lateral walls through wall/grain frictional forces. This is known as the Janssen effect. Via a…
