Abstract:Magnetic contribution to the specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and Mall effect are experimentally studied in Pb 1-x-ySnyMnxTe semimagnetic semiconductors with y = 0.72 and x = 0.08 and with different carrier concentrations 10 20 < p < 1021 cm-3 . The ferromagnetism observed in crystals with p > 3 x 10 20 cm -3 breaks down with a decreasing concentration of carriers due to an increasing competition between Ruderman-Kittel-KasuyaYoshida and superexchange interactions.PACS numbers: 75.50.Ppa, 75.50.LkPb1-x-y… Show more
