Correlation between Magnetic and Electronic Properties of Sn$\text{}_{1-x}$Gd$\text{}_{x}$Te

Abstract

Magnetic susceptibility, electron paramagnetic resonance and transport properties of Sn$\text{}_{1-x}$Gd$\text{}_{x}$Te with 0.04 0.05 no significant change in the magnetic properties was observed after annealing, even at lower hole concentrations. The results can be explained by assuming that an indirect exchange interaction, 4f-5d-band electrons, is responsible for the coupling among Gd ions
