摘要: We fabricated a simple magnetoresistive microdevice formed by narrow constriction of submicron width in the epitaxial film ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As semiconductor, and investigated magnetic properties low-temperature charge-carrier transport through constriction. have revealed sharp jumps lowered conductance non-constricted sample an enhanced constricted one, which appeared when sweeping field crossed regions coercive film. argue that both features result from contribution domain wall to conductance. While spin-orbit interaction can be responsible for negative conductance, presumably suppression weak localization effects located results positive
