“…Its electrical properties showed an n-type semiconductivity. Recently, we investigated the crystal structures and magnetic properties of Ba¸n MnS (¸n"La, Ce, and Pr) (2). From their electron paramagnetic resonance spectra, magnetic susceptibilities, and speci"c heats, the Mn ions were found to be in the S state and showed the antiferromagnetic ordering at 58.5 K for BaLa MnS , 62 K for BaCe MnS , and 64.5 K for BaPr MnS .…”
