Abstract
GaAs layers doped by implantation of Mn and Mg ions to increase the hole concentration were synthesized and studied. Measurements using a SQUID magnetometer showed that there is ferromagnetism at temperatures as high as 400 K, which is related to the formation of the MnAs and MnyGa1 − y clusters as a result of high-temperature annealing, in addition to the formation of the Ga1 − xMnxAs alloy. The anomalous Hall effect was observed at temperatures in the range from 4.2 to 200 K. As temperature was increased starting with 4.2 K, the negative magnetoresistance with extremely large magnitude transformed into a giant positive magnetoresistance at T ≈ 35 K.
