We investigate the 6-band Kane model for the valence band structure of III-V magnetic semiconductors, motivated by finding a general way to effectively control magnetic properties which are strongly coupled with elastic properties. In particular, we map out how uni/bi-axial strain can be used to tune the system. We analyze the complex dependence of total energy on the applied magnetization and compressive/tensile strain under selected hole concentrations and explain the effects of magnetic anisotropy in semiconductors. As an example, we have chosen the GaMnAs semiconductors system. Applying strain the has a strong impact on the total energy and can increase the magnetic anisotropy substantially. Further, we find the dependency of the total energy on the hole concentration in the presence of strain, magnetization and its direction. The results show symmetry properties, the importance of strain and magnetization in the semiconductors system.
