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 magnetic properties of Ge/1-x/Cr/x/Te diluted magnetic semiconductor with changeable chemical composition 0.016 leq x leq 0.061. A spin-glass state (at T leq 35 K) for x = 0.016 and 0.025 and a ferromagnetic phase (at T < 60
K) for x geq 0.030 are observed. The long range carrier-mediated magnetic interactions are found to be responsible for the observed magnetic ordering for x < 0.045, while for x geq 0.045 the spinodal decomposition of Cr ions leads to a maximum and decrease of the Curie temperature, TC, with increasing x. The calculations based on spin waves model are able to reproduce the observed magnetic properties at a homogeneous limit of Cr alloying, e.g. x < 0.04, and prove that carrier mediated Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction is responsible for the observed magnetic states. The value of the Cr-hole exchange integral, Jpd, estimated via fitting of the experimental results with the theoretical model, is in the limits 0.77...0.88 eV.
Magnetic and transport properties of Ge(1-x-y)Mn(x)Eu(y)Te crystals with chemical compositions 0.041 < x < 0.092 and 0.010 < y < 0.043 are studied. Ferromagnetic order is observed at 150 < T < 160 K. Aggregation of magnetic ions into clusters is foun
d to be the source of almost constant, composition independent Curie temperatures in our samples. Magnetotransport studies show the presence of both negative (at T < 25 K) and linear positive (for 25<T <200 K) magnetoresistance effects (with amplitudes not exceeding 2%) in the studied alloy. Negative magnetoresistance detected at T < 25 K is found to be due to a tunneling of spin-polarized electrons between ferromagnetic clusters. A linear positive magnetoresistance is identified to be geometrical effect related with the presence of ferromagnetic clusters inside semiconductor matrix. The product of the polarization constant and the inter-grain exchange constant, J_P, varies between about 0.13 meV and 0.99 meV. Strong anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is observed for T < T_C with coefficients R_S independent of temperature. The scaling analysis of the AHE leads to a conclusion that this effect is due to a skew scattering mechanism.
We present the studies of Sn/1-x/Cr/x/Te 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 < ?0.012, the aggregation into micrometer si
ze 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.
We have performed x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and valence-band photoemission studies of the diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor Zn$_{1-x}$Cr$_x$Te. XMCD signals due to ferromagnetism were observed at the Cr 2p absorption edge. Comparison
with atomic multiplet calculations suggests that the magnetically active component of the Cr ion was divalent under the tetrahedral crystal field with tetragonal distortion along the crystalline a-, b-, and c-axes. In the valence-band spectra, spectral weight near the Fermi level was strongly suppressed, suggesting the importance of Jahn-Teller effect and the strong Coulomb interaction between the Cr 3d electrons.
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 TSG = 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 = 6.6E20 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 (AHE) with hysteresis loops. Calculated AHE coefficient, RS = 2.0E6 m3/C, is temperature independent. The analysis indicates the extrinsic skew scattering mechanism to be the main physical mechanism responsible for AHE in Ge(0.743)Pb(0.183)Mn(0.074)Te alloy.
