Current-induced spin-orbit torque (SOT) switching of magnetization in a crystalline (Ga,Mn)(As,P) ferromagnetic semiconductor (FMS) film grown on a vicinal GaAs substrate is investigated. The FMS film has four magnetic easy axes along the 〈100〉 directions in the (001) crystal plane. However, unlike FMSs such as (Ga,Mn)(As,P) grown on the (001) surface, in vicinal configuration, both in-plane and out of plane components of magnetization contribute to Hall resistance (HR).
