Abstract

An experimental investigation is made of the anisotropy of magnetoresistance of the ferromagnetic p‐type semiconductor HgCr2Se4 on specimens doped with intrinsic defects and Ag. A simple theory is developed dealing with the magnetoresistance of the p‐type ferromagnetic semiconductor with Γ8 symmetry of the valence band top split by a strong exchange field produced by localized spins. The theory provides a good description of the experimental data.
