Abstract

Dilute magnetic semiconductor Cu₂MnSnS₄ nanocrystals with a novel zincblende and wurtzite structure have been successfully synthesized and reported for the first time. Cu⁺, Mn²⁺, and Sn⁴⁺ occupy the same position and have a random distribution in the zincblende and wurtzite unit cells. The nanocrystals exhibit a weak ferromagnetic behavior at low temperature.
