The influence of annealing parameters - temperature and time - on the magnetic properties of As-capped (Ga,Mn)As epitaxial thin films have been investigated. The dependence of the transition temperature (Tc) on annealing time marks out two regions. The Tc peak behavior, characteristic of the first region, is more pronounced for thick samples, while for the second (`saturated) region the effect of the annealing time is more pronounced for thin samples. A right choice of the passivation medium, growth conditions along with optimal annealing parameters routinely yield Tc-values of ~ 150 K and above, regardless of the thickness of the epilayers.

The dependence of the magnetic anisotropy of As-capped (Ga,Mn)As epilayers on the annealing parameters - temperature and time - has been investigated. A uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is evidenced, whose orientation with respect to the crystallographic
axes changes upon annealing from [-110] for the as-grown samples to [110] for the annealed samples. Both cubic an uniaxial anisotropies are tightly linked to the concentration of charge carriers, the magnitude of which is controlled by the annealing process.
We report on the determination of micromagnetic parameters of epilayers of the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As, which has easy axis in the sample plane, and (Ga,Mn)(As,P) which has easy axis perpendicular to the sample plane. We use an optical
analog of ferromagnetic resonance where the laser-pulse-induced precession of magnetization is measured directly in the time domain. By the analysis of a single set of pump-and-probe magneto-optical data we determined the magnetic anisotropy fields, the spin stiffness and the Gilbert damping constant in these two materials. We show that incorporation of 10% of phosphorus in (Ga,Mn)As with 6% of manganese leads not only to the expected sign change of the perpendicular to plane anisotropy field but also to an increase of the Gilbert damping and to a reduction of the spin stiffness. The observed changes in the micromagnetic parameters upon incorporating P in (Ga,Mn)As are consistent with the reduced hole density, conductivity, and Curie temperature of the (Ga,Mn)(As,P) material. We report that the magnetization precession damping is stronger for the n = 1 spin wave resonance mode than for the n = 0 uniform magnetization precession mode.
(Ga,Mn)As is at the forefront of research exploring the synergy of magnetism with the physics and technology of semiconductors, and has led to discoveries of new spin-dependent phenomena and functionalities applicable to a wide range of material syst
ems. Its recognition and utility as an ideal model material for spintronics research has been undermined by the large scatter in reported semiconducting doping trends and micromagnetic parameters. In this paper we establish these basic material characteristics by individually optimizing the highly non-equilibrium synthesis for each Mn-doping level and by simultaneously determining all micromagnetic parameters from one set of magneto-optical pump-and-probe measurements. Our (Ga,Mn)As thin-film epilayers, spannig the wide range of accessible dopings, have sharp thermodynamic Curie point singularities typical of uniform magnetic systems. The materials show systematic trends of increasing magnetization, carrier density, and Curie temperature (reaching 188 K) with increasing doping, and monotonous doping dependence of the Gilbert damping constant of ~0.1-0.01 and the spin stiffness of ~2-3 meVnm^2. These results render (Ga,Mn)As well controlled degenerate semiconductor with basic magnetic characteristics comparable to common band ferromagnets.
(Ga,Mn)As in wurtzite crystal structure, is coherently grown by molecular beam epitaxy on the {1100} side facets of wurtizte (Ga,In)As nanowires and further encapsulated by (Ga,Al)As and low temperature GaAs. For the first time a true long-range ferr
omagnetic magnetic order is observed in non-planar (Ga,Mn)As, which is attributed to a more effective hole confinement in the shell containing Mn by a proper selection/choice of both the core and outer shell materials.
Mn-doped wurtzite GaN epilayers have been grown by nitrogen plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Correlated SIMS, structural and magnetic measurements show that the incorporation of Mn strongly depends on the conditions of the growth. Hysteresis l
oops which persist at high temperature do not appear to be correlated to the presence of Mn. Samples with up to 2% Mn are purely substitutional Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$N epilayers, and exhibit paramagnetic properties. At higher Mn contents, precipitates are formed which are identified as GaMn$_3$N clusters by x-ray diffraction and absorption: this induces a decrease of the paramagnetic magnetisation. Samples co-doped with enough Mg exhibit a new feature: a ferromagnetic component is observed up to $T_csim175$ K, which cannot be related to superparamagnetism of unresolved magnetic precipitates.
