Full Text PDF
Recent developments in the field of semimagnetic IV-VI semiconductors are discussed with the emphasis on magnetic properties of bulk crystals with rare-earth ions (e.g., Sn1-xGdxTe, Pb1-x CexSe, Pb1-xEuxTe) and new low-dimensional magnetic multilayers (PbTe-EuTe and PbS-EuS). The other issues addressed, concern the new results in transport properties of ferromagnetic Pb1-x-ySnyMnxTe, the observation of the Knight shift in electron paramagnetic resonance in PbTe:Mn and SnTe:Mn, and the thermoelectric properties of PbTe-Pb1-xEuxTe quantum wells.
