Description
Summary:The influence of the charge carrier concentration on the magnetic properties of GaSb-MnSb alloys is studied. The ferromagnetism of GaSb-MnSb films is caused by the presence of MnSb granules and manifests itself in both magnetometric measurements and the presence of an anisotropic magnetoresistance and the anomalous Hall effect. Electric conduction is executed by charge carriers (holes) in a GaSb matrix. The magnetization of clusters depends on stoichiometry and the concentration of Mn 2+ and Mn 3+ ions, which is specified by the film growth conditions. At high film growth temperatures, ferromagnetic clusters containing Mn 2+ ions mainly form. At low growth temperatures, an antiferromagnetic phase containing Mn 3+ ions forms.
