A ferromagnetic III-V semiconductor: (Ga,Mn)As

Magnetic and transport properties of ferromagnetic III-V semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As, an alloy between GaAs and transition element Mn, are reviewed. Results of direct magnetization measurements and magnetic properties obtained from transport are presented and compared. Origin of ferromagnetism and the prospects of magnetic III-V semiconductors are discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
