摘要
We have synthesized two new chalcopyrite compounds: MnGeP2 and MnGeAs2. Total energy calculations predicted that both compounds are indirect semiconductors with band gaps of 0.24 and 0.06 eV, respectively. Both compounds exhibit room-temperature ferromagnetism with T-C similar to 320 and 340 K for MnGeP2, and MnGeAs2, respectively, based on magnetization and resistance measurements. We have also observed the anomalous Hall effect, indicating polarization of the carriers. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
