Abstract

High-field magnetic measurements performed with the use of magnetooptical Kerr effect (MOKE) in the polar configuration as well as high-field and low-field magnetotransport studies were carried out on Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers grown by low temperature molecular beam epitaxy, and subsequently annealed under various conditions. The structural investigations by means of high resolution XRD were also performed. We observe significant changes in magnetoresistivity curves, magnetization and strain introduced by the annealing.
