Аннотация:Based on the Mn-doped chalcopyrites CdGeAs2, ZnGeAs2 and ZnSiAs2 new dilute magnetic semicomductors with the p-type conductivity were produced. Magnetization, electrical resistivity and Hall effect of these compositions were studied. Their temperature dependences of magnetization are similar in form in spite of a complicated character, which is controller by the concentration and momility of the charge carriers. Thus, for T<15 K, these curves are characteristic of superparamagnets and for T>15 K, of a frustrated ferromagnet. In compounds with Zn these two states are diluted by a spinglass-like state.This specific feature is ascribed to attraction of Mn ions occupying neighboring sites and to competition between the carrier-mediated exchange and superexchange interactions. The Curie temperatures of these compounds are above room temperature. These are the highest Curie temperatures in the A^iiB^ivC^v_2:Mn systems.
