Quantitative determination of spin–orbit-induced magnetic field in GaMnAs by field-scan planar Hall measurements

Abstract Spin–orbit-induced (SOI) effective magnetic field in GaMnAs film with in-plane magnetic anisotropy has been investigated by planar Hall effect measurements. The presence of SOI field was identified by a shift between planar Hall resistance (PHR) hystereses observed with positive and negativ...
