Abstract
The paramagnetic resonance of Mn2+ in the diluted magnetic semiconductor (CuIn)1−xMn2xTe2 was observed in a pulsed magnetic field up to 15 T at temperatures ranging from 4.2 K to 45 K. The temperature dependence of the line width of the paramagnetic resonance in (CuIn)1−xMn2xTe2 resembles the behaviour of other diluted magnetic semiconductors. A Dzyaloshinski-Moriya exchange constant of approximately 0.62 K was derived. This value fits well with the values reported for II–VI based diluted magnetic semiconductors [1], if we consider the larger degree hybridization of the 3d electrons with the band electrons in chalcopyrite semiconductors.
