Using the angular dependence of the planar Hall effect in GaMnAs ferromagnetic films, we were able to determine the distribution of magnetic domain pinning fields in this material. Interestingly, there is a major difference between the pinning field distribution in as-grown and in annealed films, the former showing a strikingly narrower distribution than the latter. This conspicuous difference can be attributed to the degree of non-uniformity of magnetic anisotropy in both types of films. This finding provides a better understanding of the magnetic domain landscape in GaMnAs that has been the subject of intense debate.
We have shown that polarized neutron reflectometry can determine in a model-free way not only the mean magnetization of a ferromagnetic thin film at any point of a hysteresis cycle, but also the mean square dispersion of the magnetization vectors of
We present a quantitative investigation of magnetic domain wall pinning in thin magnets with perpendicular anisotropy. A self-consistent description exploiting the universal features of the depinning and thermally activated sub-threshold creep regime
Although pinning of domain walls in ferromagnets is ubiquitous, the absence of an appropriate characterization tool has limited the ability to correlate the physical and magnetic microstructures of ferromagnetic films with specific pinning mechanisms
We carefully investigated the ferromagnetic coupling in the as-grown and annealed ferromagnetic semiconductor GaMnAs/AlGaMnAs bilayer devices. We observed that the magnetic interaction between the two layers strongly affects the magnetoresistance of
We consider the electronic properties of ferromagnetic bulk GaMnAs at zero temperature using two realistic tight-binding models, one due to Tang and Flatte and one due to Masek. In particular, we study the density of states, the Fermi energy, the inv
