Current-driven magnetic domain wall motion is demonstrated in the quaternary ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)(As,P) at temperatures well below the ferromagnetic transition temperature, with critical currents of the order 10^5Acm^-2. This is enabled by a much weaker domain wall pinning compared to (Ga,Mn)As layers grown on a strain-relaxed buffer layer. The critical current is shown to be comparable with theoretical predictions. The wide temperature range over which domain wall motion can be achieved indicates that this is a promising system for developing an improved understanding of spin-transfer torque in systems with strong spin-orbit interaction.
