A. Lusakowski et al., ON THE POSSIBLE ORIGIN OF LARGE VALUE OF MAGNETIC-ANISOTROPY CONSTANTIN PBSNMNTE MIXED-CRYSTALS, Acta Physica Polonica. A, 84(4), 1993, pp. 829-831
In PbSnMnTe crystals with the concentration of conducting holes of the
order of 10(21) cm-3, the magnetic anisotropy constant K measured in
ferromagnetic resonance experiments is nearly one order of magnitude l
arger than expected. In the present paper we investigate a contributio
n DELTAK to the anisotropy constant, origin of which is the s-d intera
ction and the spin-orbit coupling.
