- Abstract
The transport properties of GaAs/Mn/GaAs/In xGa1 − xAs/GaAs structures with a layer that is separated from the quantum well and contains Mn impurities in the concentration range 4–10 at % corresponding to the reentrant metal-insulator transition observed in the bulk GaMnAs material [17] have been investigated. The hole mobility in the objects under investigation is more than two orders of magnitude higher than the known values for the GaMnAs semiconductor and GaMnAs-based magnetic heterostructures. This makes it possible to observe Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, which confirm a two-dimensional character of the hole energy spectrum. The calculated Curie temperature for heterostructures with indirect exchange interaction through a two-dimensional hole channel is in good agreement with the position of the maximum (at 25–40 K) in the temperature dependences of the electrical resistance of the channel. This suggests that two-dimensional holes play an important role in ferromagnetic ordering of the Mn layer under these conditions. The observations of a negative spin-dependent magnetoresistance and an anomalous Hall effect, whose magnitude correlates well with the results of theoretical calculations for two-dimensional ferromagnetic systems based on III-Mn-V, also indicate a significant role of the two-dimensional channel in ferromagnetic ordering.
