20. The InMnAs film was confirmed to be ferromagnetic by SQUID magnetometry. The interlayer coupling was not observed as the magnetic signal from a Ni layer is much greater than that of a thin InMnAs layer, which prohibits measuring the magnetization of the InMnAs layer in the tunnel junction structure.
