摘要
Properties of ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As layers grown epitaxially on a GaAs (4 1 1)A substrate were investigated. X-ray double-crystal diffraction showed the presence of shear strain due to lattice mismatch between substrate and the epitaxial layer. The magnetotransport measurements showed that the easy axis of magnetization was in the (1 0 0) plane. The results indicate that the origin of the magnetic anisotropy is dominated by the lattice strain. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
