Metal-insulator transition and giant anisotropic magnetoresistance in   ultra thin (Ga,Mn)As
  MBE-grown, 5 nm-thick annealed Ga0.95Mn0.05As films with Tc~90K demonstrate transition from metallic to insulating state below To~10K, where sheet resistances Rsh~h/e2 and both longitudinal Rxx and transverse Rxy components become comparable. Below metal-insulator transition we found giant anisotropic magnetoresistance (GAMR), which depends on orientation of magnetization to crystallographic axes and manifests itself in positive magnetoresistance near 50% for Rxx at T=1.7K, H//[110] crystallographic direction and parallel to current in contrast to smaller and negative magnetoresistance for H// direction. We connect GAMR with anisotropic spin-orbit interaction resulting in formation of high- and low- resistance states with different localization along non-equivalent easy axes.
