Abstract:We studied effects of domain wall pinned at nanoconstrictions created in ferromagnetic Ga0.99Mn0.01As layers on their magnetoresistance (MR). Negative MR observed at 1.5 K is likely dominated by the suppression of weak localization (WL) in a magnetic field. In constricted samples, additionally, jumps of an enhanced conductance appear, whose positions reflect the hysteresis loop of magnetization. We argue that these are manifestation of the suppression of WL due to the nucleation of a domain wall in the constriction.
