A narrow-gap ferromagnetic In(1-x)Mn(x)Sb semiconductor alloy was successfully grown by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy on CdTe/GaAs hybrid substrates. Ferromagnetic order in In(1-x)Mn(x)Sb was unambiguously established by the observation of clear hysteresis loops both in direct magnetization measurements and in the anomalous Hall effect, with Curie temperatures T_C ranging up to 8.5 K. The observed values of T_C agree well with the existing models of carrier-induced ferromagnetism.
