    (Colour online) Arrott plots at different temperatures for a 300 nm-wide Hall bar of (Ga,Mn)As. The inset shows a close-up view of the Arrott plots near the ferromagnetic transition, which confirms that TC is slightly above 200 K. (Adapted from Ref. [15])

    (Colour online) Gate-voltage dependence of (a) magnetic anisotropy fields Hani and (b) Gilbert damping constant α. (c) Damping constant α (closed symbols) and ratio of the superparamagnetic-like component MSP to the total magnetic component Mtot (open symbols) as a function of resistivity ρ. Circles (triangles) are for the sample with x = 0.075 (0.068), whose ρ is changed by annealing. Squares are for the MIS structure, whose ρ is changed by applied gate voltage. (Adapted from Ref. [30])

Magnetic field angle θH dependence of (c) symmetric component Vsym and (d) anti-symmetric component Va-sym of the DC voltage, normalized by the microwave absorption coefficient I, which can be well fitted by the planar Hall effect and the anomalous Hall effect of (Ga,Mn)As.

    (Colour online) The magnetic-field angle θH dependence of (a) the FMR resonant field HR and (b) the linewidth ΔH for (Ga,Mn)As/p-GaAs and (Ga,Mn)As/undoped GaAs. The resonance fields for both samples are identical, while a larger linewidth is found for (Ga,Mn)As/p-GaAs, indicating the existence of spin pumping. (Adapted from Ref. [37])

    (Colour online) Magnetic-field angle φH dependence of the damping constant α for Fe thickness of (a) 1.9 nm and (b) 1.3 nm. Isotropic damping is observed for 1.9 nm-Fe.

The anisotropic damping shows 2-fold symmetry, which results from the anisotropic density of states at the Fe/GaAs interface, as shown by open symbols in (b). (Adapted from Ref. [66])
