Abstract
Strong variations of the conductivity and the Hall coefficient as a function of the magnetic and electric field strengths are discovered in the ferromagnetic semiconductor HgCr2Se4. The nature of these phenomena is discussed in connection with its electronic structure and the strong interaction between the electric and magnetic subsystems in this magnetic semiconductor. The results can be interpreted within a model of ordinary semiconductors with consideration of the strong electron-magnon interaction specific to magnetic semiconductors, the heating of magnons by hot charge carriers, and the trapping of charge carriers (the formation of ferrons) due to the s-d exchange interaction.
