Abstract

Transport through zinc blende magnetic semiconductors with magnetic domain walls is studied theoretically. We show that these magnetic domain walls have an intrinsic resistance due to the effective hole spin-orbit interaction. The intrinsic resistance is independent of the domain-wall shape and width and survives the adiabatic limit. For typical parameters, the intrinsic domain-wall resistance is comparable to the Sharvin resistance and should be experimentally measurable.
