Abstract
We have established conditions for the preparation of CuGaTe2〈Mn〉 chalcopyrite solid solutions containing manganese on one or two cation sites, which are expected to be suitable for spintronic applications. Models for the formation of the solid solutions have been proposed, and the cation and valence distributions have been inferred from experimental data. The magnetic and electrical properties of CuGaTe2〈Mn〉 can be accounted for by the presence of Mn2+-containing superparamagnetic clusters.
