We report the first evidence of electron-mediated ferromagnetism in a molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE) grown $GaAs/Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}As$ heterostructure with Mn $delta$-doping. The interaction between the magnetic dopants (Mn) and the Two-Dimensional Electron Gas (2DEG) realizes magnetic ordering when the temperature is below the Curie temperature ($T_{C} sim 1.7K$) and the 2DEG is brought in close proximity to the Mn layer by gating. The Anomalous Hall Effect (AHE) contribution to the total Hall resistance is shown to be about three to four orders of magnitude smaller than in the case of hole-mediated ferromagnetism indicating the presence of small spin-orbit interaction.

We report on the growth and characterization of a new Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor (DMS) heterostructure that presents a Two-Dimensional Electron Gas (2DEG) with a carrier density $n sim 1.08 times 10^{12} cm^{-2}$ and a mobility $mu sim 600 cm^{2} / (Vs)$ at T $sim$ 4.2K. As far as we know this is the highest mobility value reported in the literature for GaMnAs systems. A novel technique was developed to make Ohmic contact to the buried 2DEG without destroying the magnetic properties of our crystal.
We present an experimental investigation of the magnetic, electrical and structural properties of Ga0.94Mn0.06As1-yPy layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrates for y less than or equal to 0.3. X-ray diffraction measurements reveal tha t the layers are under tensile strain which gives rise to a magnetic easy axis perpendicular to the plane of the layers. The strength of the magnetic anisotropy and the coercive field increase as the phosphorous concentration is increased. The resistivity of all samples shows metallic behaviour with the resistivity increasing as y increases. These materials will be useful for studies of micromagnetic phenomena requiring metallic ferromagnetic material with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.
A theoretical description of electronic Raman scattering from GaAs/Al_{x}Ga_{1-x}As artificial atoms under the influence of an external magnetic field is presented. Raman spectra with laser excitation energy in the interval E_{gap}-30 meV to E_{gap} are computed in the polarized and depolarized geometry. The polarization ratios for the collective and single-particle excitations indicate a breakdown of the Raman polarization selection rules once the magnetic field is switched on. A Raman intensity jump rule at the band gap is predicted in our calculations. This rule can be a useful tool for identifying the physical nature (charge or spin) of the electronic excitations in quantum dots in low magnetic fields.
GaAs:Mn nanowires were obtained on GaAs(001) and GaAs(111)B substrates by molecular beam epitaxial growth of (Ga,Mn)As at conditions leading to MnAs phase separation. Their density is proportional to the density of catalyzing MnAs nanoislands, which can be controlled by the Mn flux and/or the substrate temperature. Being rooted in the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As, the nanowires combine one-dimensional properties with the magnetic properties of (Ga,Mn)As and provide natural, self assembled structures for nanospintronics.
We present here the electronic structure and optical properties of InGaAs quantum wells with barrier doped with Manganese. We calculated the electronic states and optical emission within the envelope function and effective mass approximations using t he spin-density functional theory in the presence of an external magnetic field. We observe magneto-oscillations of the Landau levels at low-magnetic fields (B < 5 T) that are dominated by the magnetic interaction between holes spin and Mn spin, while at high magnetic fields the spin-polarization of the hole gas is the dominant effect. Our results also show that a gate voltage alter significantly the magneto-oscillations of the emission energy and may be an external control parameter for the magnetic properties of the system. Finally, we discuss the influence of the Landau Levels oscillations in the emission spectra and compare with available experimental.
