摘要: A bulk diluted magnetic semiconductor was found in the K and Mn co-doped BaCd2As2 system. Different from recently reported tetragonal ThCr2Si2-structured II-II-V based (Ba,K)(Zn,Mn)2As2, Ba1−yKyCd2−xMnxAs2 system has a hexagonal CaAl2Si2-type structure with Cd2As2 layer forming honeycomb-like network. The concentration reaches up to x ∼ 0.4. Magnetization measurements show that samples undergo ferromagnetic transitions Curie temperature 16 K. With low coercive field of less than 10 Oe large magnetoresistance about −70%, structured can be served as promising candidate for spin manipulations.
