We study the intrinsic magnetization fluctuations of the magnetic semiconductor GaMnAs at its phase transition by spin noise spectroscopy [1]. Spin noise spectroscopy avoids generating additive holes and is therefore a promising tool to unreveal unperturbed spin dynamics and has been widely applied to study spin-dynamics of non magnetic semiconductors by investigating the stochastic deviation from vanishing spin polarization at thermal equilibrium. In this contribution we explore the advancement of spin noise spectroscopy to diluted magnetic semiconductors with the aim to observe the transition from random spin fluctuations to the rise of a collective order. We examine a thin GaMnAs film deposited on a sapphire substrate. GaMnAs can easily be integrated in existing GaAs growth procedures and is consequently an attractive candidate to engineer spintronic devices and serves as an ideal model system to study the effects of combining semiconducting and ferromagnetic properties.
