Abstrakt: The spin-dependent scattering in ferromagnet/nonmagnet/ferromagnet (Ga,Mn)As/(Al,Ga)As/(Ga,Mn)As trilayer structures was studied. An increase of sheet resistance was observed when the magnetizations of the two ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As layers were aligned anti-parallel, which was realized by the different coercivity of the two (Ga,Mn)As layers with different compositions. This is the first demonstration of spin-dependent scattering in magnetic multilayer structures made of semiconductor-materials alone. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
