    (Color online) (a) Magnetization versus magnetic field measured atT = 5 K with magnetic field applied along the out-of-plane direction in Ga0.94Mn0.06As0.79P0.21.ρxy/ρxx0.4 at 5 K is also plotted for comparison. Inset: Temperature dependence of magnetization measured along the out-of-plane [001] axis atB = 2 mT. (b) Resistivity of S1 (Ga0.94Mn0.06As0.79P0.21) and (c) that of S2 (Ga0.94Mn0.04As0.79P0.21) at several temperatures with magnetic field applied along the [001] axis.
