Abstract

The magnetic susceptibility χ of Hg 1−x Mn x S is investigated at temperatures T = 77–300 K for H = 4 kOe by the Faraday method before and after thermal treatment of the sample in compound vapors. The special features of χ are found to be caused by the presence in the crystals of Mn-S-Mn-S clusters of different sizes in which indirect antiferromagnetic exchange interaction of the Mn atoms occurs through the chalcogen atoms. Thermal treatment of samples in compound vapors causes changes of sizes of clusters existing in the crystal and even dissipation of the second-phase inclusions.
