We suggest that negative magnetoresistance in small magnetic fields at temperatures lower than 3 K reported in the paper under discussion may be related to superconducting transition in In leads (with Tc = 3.4 K).

We report the observation of negative magnetoresistance in the ferromagnetic semiconductor GaMnAs at low temperatures ($T<3$ K) and low magnetic fields ($0< B <20$ mT). We attribute this effect to weak localization. Observation of weak localization provides a strong evidence of impurity band transport in these materials, since for valence band transport one expects either weak anti-localization due to strong spin-orbit interactions or total suppression of interference by intrinsic magnetization. In addition to the weak localization, we observe Altshuler-Aronov electron-electron interactions effect in this material.
In this communication we refute a criticism concerning results of our work [3] that was presented in references [1] and [2].
In recent paper Cao et al. [Phys. Rev. B {bf 67}, 161101 (R) (2003)] reported an observation of what is the first genuine multi-mode behavior in random lasers. They observed a splitting of a single lasing line into two lines with close frequencies when pumping is increased beyond a certain threshold. Here we are pointing out that the qualitative interpretation of these experiments given in that paper is misleading.
We comment on recent e-print by L. Mardoyan et al. [cond-mat/0609768]
The recent paper by V. G. Kogan and J. Schmalian Phys. Rev. B 83, 054515 (2011) argues that the widely used two-component Ginzburg-Landau (GL) models are not correct, and further concludes that in the regime which is described by a GL theory there could be no disparity in the coherence lengths of two superconducting components. This would in particular imply that (in contrast to $U(1)times U(1)$ superconductors), there could be no type-1.5 superconducting regime in U(1) multiband systems for any finite interband coupling strength. We point out that these claims are incorrect and based on an erroneous scheme of reduction of a two-component GL theory. We also attach a separate rejoinder on reply by Kogan and Schmalian. In their reply Phys. Rev. B 86, 016502 (2012) to our comment Phys. Rev. B 86, 016501 (2012) Kogan and Schmalian did not refute or, indeed, discuss the main points of criticism in the comment. Unfortunately they instead advance new incorrect claims regarding two-band and type-1.5 superconductivity. The main purpose of the attached rejoinder is to discuss these new incorrect claims.
