摘要
Dilute magnetic semiconductors exhibit unique magnetic and transport properties which arise from the coupling of carrier spins and local moments. We have studied the ferromagnetic resonance spectra in ferromagnetic Mn-doped GaAs (with Mn concentrations similar to4-6%), whose properties are strongly influenced by this coupling. The resonance fields were found to have an anomalous temperature dependence, which we attribute to the development of a "bottleneck" between the two types of spins. The gyromagnetic ratio of hole spins in this p-type ferromagnetic semiconductor was found to be negative, with g similar to -0.5. At low temperatures, additional anisotropy appears, which we have attributed to the trapping of itinerant holes by the core spins. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
