Abstract

We have investigated the magnetotransport properties of field-effect transistors (FET) having a III-V ferromagnetic semiconductor channel layer. One can control not only the ferromagnetic transition temperature TC but also the magnetization and the coercive force of (In,Mn)As channel layers isothermally and reversibly by gate electric fields. A small change of the magnetization upon application of gate electric fields is also observed in FETs with a (Ga,Mn)As channel. Results on a (Al,Ga,Mn)As channel FET are also presented.
