Growth, crystallographic structure, electrical transport and magnetic properties of cubic Er pnictides and hexagonal Er silicide layers, epitaxially grown on semiconductors, are reviewed. Magnetoresistance anomalies observed at low temperatures are discussed in terms of a model developed for electron-magnetic moment interactions in antiferromagnetic systems.
