Research Abstract

We have investigated the domain wall related phenomena in (Ga, Mn)As and found that
(1)Universality class of domain wall creep motion in (Ga, Mn)As is governed by the surface roughness
(2)Electromotive force can be induced by the domain wall motion, which is a reciprocal effect of the current induced domain wall motion.
