Abstract
The electrophysical and magnetic properties of recently discovered high-pressure phases in the GaSb-Mn system with simple cubic and tetragonal structures have been examined. It has been shown that samples with the primitive cubic structure for low temperatures are in the ferromagnetic state and the Curic temperature depends on the initial manganese content and reaches T c = 280 K for x = 0.6. It has been shown that these samples for a manganese content x ≤ 0.5 are in the semiconducting state with large impurity conduction and pass to the metallic state as x increases. The GaSbMn phase with the tetragonal structure has ferromagnetic properties up to temperatures of T ∼450 K (at which the phase begins to decay) and exhibits metallic properties. The magnetization at T = 77.3 K is equal to M = 0.58 μB and 0.28 μB per manganese ion for the simple cubic and tetragonal phases, respectively.
