We investigate the spin-dependent transport properties of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) systems formed in diluted magnetic semiconductors and in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction in the framework of the scattering matrix approach. We focus on nanostructures consisting of realistic magnetic barriers produced by the deposition of ferromagnetic strips on heterostructures. We calculate spin-dependente conductance of such barrier systems and show that the magnetization pattern of the strips, the tunable spin-orbit coupling, and the enhanced Zeeman splitting have a strong effect on the conductance of the structure. We describe how these effects can be employed in the efficient control of spin polarization via the application of moderate fields.
