Abstract

We have studied the effect of heat treatment in mercury and sulfur vapors on the magnetic susceptibility of Hg1 − x Mn x Te1 − y S y crystals. Measurements were performed by the Faraday method in the temperature range 77–300 K at H= 318 kA/m before and after heat treatments. The results demonstrate that the behavior of the magnetic susceptibility can be understood in terms of Mn-S-Mn-S, Mn-Te-Mn-Te, and (mixed) Mn-Te-Mn-S clusters of different sizes with indirect antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between the Mn atoms through the chalcogen atoms. Heat treatment in sulfur and mercury vapors leads to the formation of new clusters or changes (increases or decreases) the size of already existing clusters.
