摘要
Magnetic properties of IV-VI compound GeTe based diluted magnetic semiconductors with 3d transition metals from Ti to Ni have been investigated. Ferromagnetic order is observed for the Cr, Mn, and Fe doped GeTe films, whereas the Ti, V, Co, and Ni doped films are paramagnetic. The ferromagnetic order could give rise to p-d exchange interaction because amplitudes of negative magnetoresistance and the anomalous Hall effect are proportional to that of spontaneous magnetization. The Curie temperatures determined by extrapolating the steep linear part of the temperature dependence of the squared residual magnetization for the Cr, Mn, and Fe doped GeTe films are 12, 47, and 100 K, respectively.
