摘要: Abstract We have studied magnetic and transport properties of a series Ga 1−x Mn x As GaAs samples with different concentrations (x = 0.015−0.071. For content higher than about 0.02, carrier(hole)-induced ferromagnetism is observed. Samples 0.035 0.043 behave as ferromagnetic dirty metals. With further increase above ∼ 0.05, the zero-field resistivity turns semiconducting temperature dependence. Very large negative magnetoresistance observed in non-metallic near metal-nonmetal transitions both low high regimes.
