Using an advanced tight-binding approach, we estimate the anisotropy of the tunnel transmission associated with the rotation of the 5/2 spin of a single Mn atom forming an acceptor state in GaAs and located near an AlGaAs tunnel barrier. Significant anisotropies in both in-plane and out-of-plane geometries are found, resulting from the combination of the large spin-orbit coupling associated with the p-d exchange interaction, cubic anisotropy of heavy-hole dispersion and the low C2v symmetry of the chemical bonds.

The large tunneling anisotropic magneto-resistance of a single $p^{++}$-(Ga,Mn)As/$n^{+}$-GaAs Zener-Esaki diode is evidenced in a perpendicular magnetic field over a large temperature and voltage range. Under an applied bias, the tunnel junction tra
nsparency is modified, allowing to continuously tune anisotropic transport properties between the tunneling and the ohmic regimes. Furthermore, an asymmetric bias-dependence of the anisotropic tunneling magneto-resistance is also observed: a reverse bias highlights the full (Ga,Mn)As valence band states contribution, whereas a forward bias only probes part of the density of states and reveals opposite contributions from two subbands.
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
erse participation ratio, and the optical conductivity with varying impurity concentration x=0.01-0.15. The results are very sensitive to the assumptions made for the on-site and hopping matrix elements of the Mn impurities. For low concentrations, x<0.02, Maseks model shows only small deviations from the case of p-doped GaAs with increased number of holes while within Tang and Flattes model an impurity-band forms. For higher concentrations x, Maseks model shows minor quantitative changes in the properties we studied while the results of the Tang and Flatte model exhibit qualitative changes including strong localization of eigenstates with energies close to the band edge. These differences between the two approaches are in particular visible in the optical conductivity, where Maseks model shows a Drude peak at zero frequency while no such peak is observed in Tang and Flattes model. Interestingly, although the two models differ qualitatively the calculated effective optical masses of both models are similar within the range of 0.4-1.0 of the free electron mass.
Resistivity measurements of a few-layer black phosphorus (bP) crystal in parallel magnetic fields up to 45 T are reported as a function of the angle between the in-plane field and the source-drain (S-D) axis of the device. The crystallographic direct
ions of the bP crystal were determined by Raman spectroscopy, with the zigzag axis found within 5{deg} of the S-D axis, and the armchair axis in the orthogonal planar direction. A transverse magneto-resistance (TMR) as well as a classically-forbidden longitudinal magneto-resistance (LMR) are observed. Both are found to be strongly anisotropic and non-monotonic with increasing in-plane field. Surprisingly, the relative magnitude (in %) of the positive LMR is larger than the TMR above $sim$32 T. Considering the known anisotropy of bP whose zigzag and armchair effective masses differ by a factor of approximately seven, our experiment strongly suggests this LMR to be a consequence of the anisotropic Fermi surface of bP.
We theoretically investigate the Tunneling Anisotropic Magneto-Seebeck effect in a realistically-modeled CoPt|MgO|Pt tunnel junction using coherent transport calculations. For comparison we study the tunneling magneto-Seebeck effect in CoPt|MgO|CoPt
as well. We find that the magneto-Seebeck ratio of CoPt|MgO|Pt exceeds that of CoPt|MgO|CoPt for small barrier thicknesses, reaching 175% at room temperature. This result provides a sharp contrast to the magnetoresistance, which behaves oppositely for all barrier thicknesses and differs by one order of magnitude between devices. Here the magnetoresistance results from differences in transmission brought upon by changing the tunnel junctions magnetization configuration. The magneto-Seebeck effect results from variations in asymmetry of the energy-dependent transmission instead. We report that this difference in origin allows for CoPt|MgO|Pt to possess strong thermal magnetic-transport anisotropy.
We present the spin and orbitally resolved local density of states (LDOS) for a single Mn impurity and for two nearby Mn impurities in GaAs. The GaAs host is described by a sp^3 tight-binding Hamiltonian, and the Mn impurity is described by a local p
-d hybridization and on-site potential. Local spin-polarized resonances within the valence bands significantly enhance the LDOS near the band edge. For two nearby parallel Mn moments the acceptor states hybridize and split in energy. Thus scanning tunneling spectroscopy can directly measure the Mn-Mn interaction as a function of distance.
