Abstract

The resistivity, Hall coefficient, and magnetoresistance ratio of the ferromagnetic semiconductor Cd0.7Mn0.3GeAs2 have been measured as functions of pressure, temperature, and magnetic field. The ρ(p) and R H(p) curves point to a structural insulator-metal phase transition under both increasing and decreasing pressure. The temperature dependences of ρ and R H show anomalies, which are interpreted as a ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition. Cd0.7Mn0.3GeAs2 is shown for the first time to have a negative magnetoresistance under pressure.
