| We studied narrow (submicron) constrictions in the layers of ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As. We have demonstrated a contribution of the quantum localization effects to the magnetoresistance of the constricted samples. We have also found a negative contribution of a domain wall trapped in the constriction to the resistance, due presumably to the erasing of the localization effects by the domain wall. |
