We present the studies of Sn_{1-x}Cr_xTe semimagnetic semiconductors with chemical composition x ranging from 0.004 to 0.012. The structural characterization indicates that even at low average Cr-content x ≤q 0.012, the aggregation into micrometer size clusters appears in our samples. The magnetic properties are affected by the presence of clusters. In all our samples we observe the transition into the ordered state at temperatures between 130 and 140 K. The analysis of both static and dynamic magnetic susceptibility data indicates that the spin-glass-like state is observed in our samples. The addition of Cr to the alloy seems to shift the spin-glass-like transition from 130 K for x = 0.004 to 140 K for x = 0.012.

Recently new effects that are not characteristic of undoped lead telluride, such as the Fermi level pinning, giant negative magnetoresistance, were observed in Pb_{1-x}Mn_xTe alloys doped with transition and rare earth elements - Cr, Mo, Yb. We have studied transport and magnetic properties of Pb_{1-x}Mn_xTe doped with another transition element - vanadium. A series of Pb_{1-x}Mn_xTe(V) samples of different composition and degree of doping was investigated. It was observed that the resistivity demonstrates activation behavior at low temperatures for the samples with considerable amount of vanadium as well as for the samples without vanadium. The activation energy is proportional to the Mn content. In some of the samples, photoconductivity was observed at low temperatures. The results are discussed in terms of a model assuming formation of the impurity level by the vanadium impurity and the effect of the Fermi level pinning by this level.

Transport and magnetic properties of Pb_{1-x}Mn_xTe (x<0.18) semiconductor alloys doped with Cr or Mo are investigated in a broad range of temperatures and magnetic fields. In PbMnTe(Cr) alloys the Fermi level may be pinned either in the conduction band or in the energy gap, depending on Mn concentration. In PbMnTe(Mo) alloys the pinning of the Fermi level is observed in the valence band as well as in the energy gap. In the latter case persistent photoconductivity is observed at low temperatures. The analysis of the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility shows that PbMnTe alloys doped with Cr or Mo are Curie-Weiss paramagnets revealing weak antiferromagnetic interactions between magnetic ions.

We present preliminary studies of magnetic properties of Ge_{1-x}Cr_{x}Te semimagnetic semiconductors with low chromium content x < 0.026. The static and dynamic magnetometry techniques were employed for the current investigations. The obtained results showed large bifurcations between zero-field cooled and field cooled magnetization curves at temperatures lower than 50 K. The dynamic susceptibility measurements proved via frequency shifting of the peaks that the observed magnetic order at low temperatures was the spin-glass-like state caused by magnetic frustration of the system.

In this work we present a comparison of the experimental results, which have been obtained by the resonant photoelectron spectroscopy for a set of selected diluted magnetic semiconductors based on GeTe, doped with manganese. The photoemission spectra are acquired for the photon energy range of 40-60 eV, corresponding to the Mn 3p → 3d resonances. The spectral features related to Mn 3d states are revealed in the emission from the valence band. The Mn 3d states contribution manifests itself in the whole valence band with a maximum at the binding energy of 3.8 eV.

Magnetization, anomalous Hall effect, thermoelectric power, magnetoresistance, and resistivity of Sn_{1-x-y-z}Ge_{x}Mn_{y}Gd_{z}Te (x = 0.039÷0.597, y = 0.077÷0.125, z = 0.0014÷0.028) mixed crystals were studied over the temperature range 4.2-300 K. The ferromagnetic order with Curie temperature 18-24 K was revealed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the magnetotransport properties of the Ge_{0.743}Pb_{0.183}Mn_{0.074}Te mixed crystal. The results of magnetization measurements indicated that the compound is a spin-glass-like diluted magnetic semiconductor with critical temperature T_{SG}=97.5 K. Nanoclusters in the sample are observed. Both, matrix and clusters are magnetically active. Resistivity as a function of temperature has a minimum at 30 K. Below the minimum a variable-range hopping is observed, while above the minimum a metallic-like behavior occurs. The crystal has high hole concentration, p=6.6×10^{20} cm^{-3}, temperature-independent. Magnetoresistance amplitude changes from -0.78 to 1.18% with increase of temperature. In the magnetotransport measurements we observed the anomalous Hall effect with hysteresis loops. Calculated anomalous Hall effect coefficient, R_{S} = 2.0×10^{6} m^{3}/C, is temperature independent. The analysis indicates the extrinsic skew scattering mechanism to be the main physical mechanism responsible for anomalous Hall effect in Ge_{0.743}Pb_{0.183}Mn_{0.074}Te alloy.

EN
The study of transport and of magnetic properties of Pb_{1-x}Ge_{x}Te:Yb mixed crystals (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.04) is reported. It is shown that Yb forms a donor state resonant with the PbTe valence band. The donor state position may be tuned (shifted relative to the energy gap) by admixture of Ge. The properties of the Yb ion in the Pb_{1-x}Ge_{x}Te matrix makes the system unique from the point of view of magnetic properties. It is demonstrated that the change of the conductivity type from p to n induces transitions from the paramagnetic state to the diamagnetic one.

Magnetic susceptibility, Hall effect and resistivity of narrow-gap Ge_{1-x-y}Sn_xMn_yTe single crystals (x = 0.083÷0.115; y = 0.025÷0.124) were investigated in the temperature range 4.2-300 K revealing a ferromagnetic ordering at T_C ≈ 50 K. Temperature dependence of magnetization indicates a superparamagnetic phase with magnetic clusters arranging in a spin glass state below the freezing temperature T_f. Magnetic structure of InSe ⟨Mn⟩ 2D-ferromagnetic single crystals was studied by SQUID magnetometry, neutron diffraction, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and wave dispersive spectra. Hysteresis loops of magnetization were observed at least up to 350 K. The cluster model of ferromagnetism is considered. The formation of self-assembled superlattice ferromagnetic InSe:Mn/antiferromagnetic MnSe during growth process and further annealing was established.

We present the experimental evidence for the presence of spinodal decomposition of the magnetic ions in the Ge_{1-x-y}Cr_{x}Eu_{y}Te samples with chemical composition varying in the range of 0.015 ≤ x ≤ 0.057 and 0.003 ≤ y ≤ 0.042. The ferromagnetic transition at temperatures 50 ≤ T ≤ 57 K was observed, independent of the chemical composition. The long-range carrier mediated itinerant magnetic interactions seem to be responsible for the observed ferromagnetic order. The magnetic irreversibility with coercive field H_C = 5 - 63 mT and the saturation magnetization M_S ≈ 2 - 6 emu/g are found to strongly depend on the chemical composition of the alloy.

We present the studies of structural, electrical and magnetic properties of bulk Sn_{1-x-y}Pb_xCr_yTe mixed crystals with chemical composition 0.18 ≤ x ≤ 0.35 and 0.007 ≤ y ≤ 0.071. The magnetometric studies indicate that for the high Cr-content, y=0.071, the alloy shows ferromagnetic alignment with the Curie temperature, T_{C}, around 265 K. The Cr_5Te_8 clusters are responsible for the ferromagnetic order. At low Cr content, y ≈ 0.01, a peak in the ac magnetic susceptibility identified as the cluster-glass-like transition is observed at a temperature about 130 K. The cluster-glass-like transition is likely due to the presence of Cr_2Te_3 clusters in the samples with y ≈ 0.01. The transport characterization of the samples indicated strong metallic p-type conductivity with relatively high carrier concentration, n > 10^{20} cm^{-3}, and carrier mobility, μ > 150 cm^2/(V s).
