Abstract

Systematic masurements of energy gap and magnetic susceptibility of Zn1−xMnxTe in a composition range from 0 to 0.703 Mn mole fraction were performed as a function of temperature. The results show that the magnetic contribution to the energy gap variation is proportional to a product of temperature and susceptibility.
