Some magnetic properties of chalcogenide glasses As2S3 AND As2Se3 doped with Cr, Mn, AND Yb

Abstract

The article is concerned with the analysis of magnetic impurity influence on the prop- erties of As2S3 and As2Se3 chalcogenide glasses. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility were performed in the 1-350 K temperature range and in the permanent magnetic fields up to 5 T. Amphoteric elements Mn and Cr, as well as rare-earth element Yb, were chosen as doping elements. Experimental data reveal different dependences of specific magnetic moment on temperature M = M(T) in the strong magnetic fields to 5 T and have some specific features which depend on dopant material and on composition of diamagnetic chalcogenide glass.
