Abstract

Ferromagnetic III-V semiconductors allow us to observe a wide variety of phenomena that either cannot be realized or are very difficult to observe in metal ferromagnets; ranging from reversible electric-field control of ferromagnetic phase transition to obtaining current-induced domain wall velocity as a function of current-density in a wide range of velocity. Here, I present a few recent developments in these fronts focusing on (Ga,Mn)As. A brief discussion on the material front is also given.
