摘要
In-plane magnetic anisotropy of 40-mu m-long (Ga,Mn)As wires with different widths (0.4, 1.0, and 20 mu m) has been investigated between 5 and 75 K by measuring anisotropic magneto-resistance (AMR). The wires show in-plane < 1 0 0 > cubic and [-1 1 0] uniaxial anisotropies, and an additional lithography-induced anisotropy along the wire direction in narrow wires with width of 0.4 and 1.0 mu m. We derive the temperature dependence of the cubic, uniaxial, and lithography-induced anisotropy constants from the results of AMR, and find that a sizable anisotropy can be provided by lithographic means, which allows us to control and detect the magnetization reversal process by choosing the direction of the external magnetic fields.
