Abstract: It was shown that one can switch on and off the ferromagnetic phase of magnetic III-V semiconductor through changing its carrier concentration by applying external electric-fields, owing to the hole-induced nature of ferromagnetism. This has opened up a new route toward manipulation of magnetism and magnetization, not resorting to magnetic fields nor to spin currents. Recent results on probing the change of magnetic moments by direct magnetometry revealed the dependence of spontaneous magnetic moment ms on applied electric field. The observed electric-field dependence of TC and ms and the TC µ p0.2 relationship revealed by transport measurements were shown to be well accounted for by the p-d Zener model taking into account the non-uniform carrier distribution in thin films (<5 nm). If time allows, I show an anomalous reduction of the magnitude of the anomalous Hall effect as temperature is reduced in (Ga,Mn)As thin layers with high conductivity (> 200 S/cm). Although still not fully conclusive, electric-field gating was used to investigate the origin of this reduction . This work was supported in part by the R & D for Next-Generation IT Program (MEXT) and by the FIRST program of JSPS
