Abstract
The magnetic susceptibility of a single crystal of the magnetic semico nductor ZnMn2As2 has been investigated in the paramagnetic region for the first time. It is shown that this compound behaves as a ferrimagne t with two magnetic sublattices. The molecular field constants and eff ective moment values are determined for the Mn ions in two different c rystallographic positions, corresponding to tetrahedral and octahedral coordinations by the As ions, respectively.
