Abstract
We report the magnetic susceptibility behavior and thermodynamic data of the new family of diluted magnetic semiconductor MnIn2−2x Cr2x S4 grown from the vapour phase by chemical transport method. The low field and low temperature magnetic susceptibility data shows the appearence of an irreversible behavior below 6 K. This spin-glass like behavior is a consequence of the coexistance of competing ferromagnetic interactions between nearest-neighbours and antiferromagnetic interaction, between higher-order neighbours.
