We performed magnetotransport measurements on individually contacted GaAs/(Ga,Mn)As nanowires at low temperatures. The core nanowires were grown by MBE using gold as catalyst at a temperature of 530∘C. For the (Ga,Mn)As shell growth, the substrate temperature was decreased to 205∘C. A Curie-Temperature of 17K to 20K was observed by SQUID measurements on an ensemble of 108 nanowires as well as by transport measurements. Investigating the magnetoresistance effects for various field directions we can determine the magnetic anisotropy to be strongly uniaxial with a magnetic easy axis pointing along the nanowire axis. The observed effects are very pronounced when compared to (Ga,Mn)As bulk material with a similar manganese concentration. Also the anisotropy field and coercive fields are significantly larger than for (Ga,Mn)As bulk material.
