摘要: We report the growth of films intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductor NdN and investigate their optical transport properties. There is clear evidence a strong anomalous Hall effect as expected from $4f$ conduction channel, supported by an absorption into or $4f/5d$ hybridized tail at base band. The results reveal heavy-fermion band lying where it can be occupied controllable levels with nitrogen-vacancy donors.
