摘要
A series of Ga1-xMnxAs layers with high Mn compositions x (=0.075-0.200) has been grown and investigated. Magnetization, magnetotransport, and magneto-optical properties reveal that the layers have single ferromagnetic phase as in the case of typical (Ga,Mn)As. The authors also describe the variation of magnetic anisotropy with x and the effect of low temperature annealing on Curie temperature. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
