Drastic improvement of Curie temperature by chemical pressure in N-type diluted magnetic semiconductor Ba(Zn,Co) $$_{2}$$ 2 As $$_{2}$$ 2

Abstract We report the effect of chemical pressure on the ferromagnetic ordering of the recently reported n-type diluted magnetic semiconductor Ba(Zn $$_{1-x}$$ 1 - x Co $$_{x}$$ x ) $$_{2}$$ 2 As $$_{2}$$ 2 which has a maximum $$T_C$$ T C $$\sim$$ ∼ 45 K. Doping Sb into As-site and Sr into Ba-site...
