We report on electrical measurements of the effective density of states in the ferromagnetic semiconductor material (Ga,Mn)As. By analyzing the conductivity correction due to enhanced electron-electron interaction the electrical diffusion constant was extracted for (Ga,Mn)As samples of different dimensionality. Using the Einstein relation allows to deduce the effective density of states of (Ga,Mn)As at the Fermi energy.

This paper discusses transport methods for the investigation of the (Ga,Mn)As magnetic anisotropy. Typical magnetoresistance behaviour for different anisotropy types is discussed, focusing on an in depth discussion of the anisotropy fingerprint techn
ique and extending it to layers with primarily uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. We find that in all (Ga,Mn)As films studied, three anisotropy components are always present. The primary biaxial along ([100] and [010]) along with both uniaxial components along the [110] and [010] crystal directions which are often reported separately. Various fingerprints of typical (Ga,Mn)As transport samples at 4 K are included to illustrate the variation of the relative strength of these anisotropy terms. We further investigate the temperature dependence of the magnetic anisotropy and the domain wall nucleation energy with the help of the fingerprint method.
We report the observation of tunneling anisotropic magnetothermopower, a voltage response to a temperature difference across an interface between a normal and a magnetic semiconductor. The resulting voltage is related to the energy derivative of the
density of states in the magnetic material, and thus has a strongly anisotropic response to the direction of magnetization in the material. The effect will have relevance to the operation of semiconductor spintronic devices, and may indeed already play a role in correctly interpreting the details of some earlier spin injection studies.
We present the manipulation of magnetic and electrical properties of (Ga,Mn)As by the adsorption of dye-molecules as a first step towards the realization of light-controlled magnetic-semiconductor/dye hybrid devices. A significant lowering of the Cur
ie temperature with a corresponding increase in electrical resistance and a higher coercive field is found for the GaMnAs/fluorescein system with respect to (Ga,Mn)As. Upon exposure to visible light a shift in Curie temperature towards higher values and a reduction of the coercive field can be achieved in photo-sensitized (Ga,Mn)As. A mayor change in the XPS spectrum of (Ga,Mn)As indicates the appearance of occupied levels in the energy range corresponding to the (Ga,Mn)As valence band states upon adsorption of fluorescein. This points towards a hole quenching effect at the molecule-(Ga,Mn)As interface which is susceptible to light exposure.
We present details of our experimental and theoretical study of the components of the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in (Ga,Mn)As. We develop experimental methods to yield directly the non-crystalline and crystalline AMR components which are the
n independently analyzed. These methods are used to explore the unusual phenomenology of the AMR in ultra thin (5nm) (Ga,Mn)As layers and to demonstrate how the components of the AMR can be engineered through lithography induced local lattice relaxations. We expand on our previous [Phys. Rev. Lett. textbf{99}, 147207 (2007)] theoretical analysis and numerical calculations to present a simplified analytical model for the origin of the non-crystalline AMR. We find that the sign of the non-crystalline AMR is determined by the form of spin-orbit coupling in the host band and by the relative strengths of the non-magnetic and magnetic contributions to the impurity potential.
We report on a systematic study of the Coulomb blockade effects in nanofabricated narrow constrictions in thin (Ga,Mn)As films. Different low-temperature transport regimes have been observed for decreasing constriction sizes: the ohmic, the single el
ectron tunnelling (SET) and a completely insulating regime. In the SET, complex stability diagrams with nested Coulomb diamonds and anomalous conductance suppression in the vicinity of charge degeneracy points have been observed. We rationalize these observations in the SET with a double ferromagnetic island model coupled to ferromagnetic leads. Its transport characteristics are analyzed in terms of a modified orthodox theory of Coulomb blockade which takes into account the energy dependence of the density of states in the metallic islands.
