Popis: The electrical and magnetic properties of the spinels with the general chemical formula of CuxCoyCrzSe4 (where y=0.06, 0.1, 0.11 and 0.23) have been studied. Ferromagnetic ordering with a Curie temperature of 340 K, a Curie–Weiss paramagnetic temperature of 350 K and the p-type metallic conductivity were established for samples with low Co content y (up to 0.11). The sample with the highest Co content (y=0.23) showed a ferrimagnetic behavior and n-type electrical semiconductivity. These effects are interpreted in terms of the magnetic double exchange and the Kramers–Anderson super-exchange interactions and low spin state configurations of cations including non-stoichiometry.
