摘要
We observed negative magnetoresistance (MR) in a ferromagnetic diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn1-xCrxTe (x=0.20). At a temperature of 20 K, the MR ratio was -26% (Deltarho=-4100 Omegacm) in a magnetic field of 10 kOe. The MR showed a clear hysteresis loop. Negative MR was observed up to about room temperature, corresponding to a Curie temperature. These behaviors indicate that the electrical properties of Zn1-xCrxTe are strongly affected by its magnetic properties through a strong carrier-spin interaction.
