We investigated the magnetic properties of (La 1 − x Ba x )(Zn 1 − x Mn x )AsO with x varying from 0.005 to 0.05 at an external magnetic field of 1000 Oe. For doping levels of x ≤ 0.01, the system remains paramagnetic down to the lowest measurable temperature of 2 K. Only when the doping level increases to x = 0.02 does the ferromagnetic ordering appear. Our analysis indicates that antiferromagnetic exchange interactions dominate for x ≤ 0.01, as shown by the negative Weiss temperature fitted from the magnetization data. The Weiss temperature becomes positive, i.e., ferromagnetic coupling starts to dominate, for x ≥ 0.02. The Mn-Mn spin interaction parameter ∣ 2 J / k B ∣ is estimated to be in the order of 10 K for both x ≤ 0.01 (antiferromagnetic ordered state) and x ≥ 0.02 (ferromagnetic ordered state). Our results unequivocally demonstrate the competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions in carrier-mediated ferromagnetic systems.

AbstractWe report the effect of chemical pressure on the ferromagnetic ordering of the recently reported n-type diluted magnetic semiconductor Ba(Zn$$_{1-x}$$ 1 - x Co$$_{x}$$ x )$$_{2}$$ 2 As$$_{2}$$ 2 which has a maximum $$T_C$$ T C $$\sim$$ ∼ 45 K. Doping Sb into As-site and Sr into Ba-site induces negative and positive chemical pressure, respectively. While conserving the tetragonal crystal structure and n-type carriers, the unit cell volume shrink by $$\sim$$ ∼ 0.3$$\%$$ % with 15$$\%$$ % Sr doping, but drastically increase the ferromagnetic transition temperature by 18$$\%$$ % to 53 K. Our experiment unequivocally demonstrate that the parameters of Zn(Co)As$$_{4}$$ 4 tetrahedra play a vital role in the formation of ferromagnetic ordering in the Ba(Zn,Co)$$_{2}$$ 2 As$$_{2}$$ 2 DMS.

ABSTRACTIn this paper experimental evidence is presented for the carrier concentration dependence of the magnetic properties of Sn0.97Mn0.03Te, yielding a critical concentration above which ferromagnetic interactions are dominant. The observed behavior can be fairly well explained within a modified RKKY-model. Preliminary experiments on the low temperature magnetic phases indicate re-entrant spinglass behavior, which is qualitatively described with the spinglass model of Sherrington and Kirkpatrick.
