Ga(1−x)MnxAs layers with manganese content x of about 2% have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs (001) and (311)A substrates. Magnetotransport measurements with in-plane magnetic field show planar Hall effect, so that it is possible to study the angular dependence of the switching fields by rotating the sample in the field. In (001) samples, a correlation between these switching fields and the magnetic anisotropy with the easy axis parallel to the surface is observed. (311) oriented samples show a more complicated behaviour of the magnetic anisotropy, which is confirmed by ferromagnetic resonance experiments. The hard axis correlated with a strong uniaxial magnetic anisotropy along growth direction in case of the (001) samples is tilted out of the growth direction for the (311) samples, leading to a different behaviour of the planar Hall effect.
