The family of (III,Mn)V ferromagnetic semiconductors offers unique
opportunities for exploring the integration of two frontier areas in
information technology: spintronics and nano-electronics.
In my talk I will address two novel phenomena recently observed in
micro- and nano-structures patterned from this ferromagnetic material
with strong spin-orbit coupling, the Coulomb blockade Anisotropic
Magnetoresistance effect and lithographically controlled
magnetocrystalline anisotropy applied for current induced spin-
transfer-torque domain wall propagation.
