Abstract

The results of experimental observations at room temperature of anomalous Hall effect associated with existence of a spontaneous spin polarization of conduction electrons in mercury selenide crystals doped with chromium and vanadium in the concentration range from 1·1018 to 1·1019 sm-3 are reported. Comparison of the experimental data together with the previously reported results related to crystals with iron, cobalt and nickel impurities shows that the relative contribution to the anomalous Hall effect is maximal for vanadium impurity (≈ 13%) and minimal for iron impurity (≈ 5%). Also, transverse magnetoresistance with a characteristic dependence on the magnetic field strength, on which an unusual hysteresis in the field dependence was observed, was found in investigated crystals at room temperature. Theoretical interpretation of the observed effects is developed based on the concepts of thermodynamic nature of anomalous galvanomagnetic phenomena in electron systems with spontaneous spin polarization.
