Abstract

We examine and identify magnetoresistance mechanisms in 2D system containing a sizable concentration of magnetic ions. We argue that some of these mechanisms can serve as a tool to measure spin polarization. Lack of spin degeneracy and enhanced localization make it possible to detect an additional QHE plateau associated with extended states floating-up in vanishing magnetic field.
